In search of light

I remember the days
It felt as if a cloud was hovering over my head
Just to cast a shadow on my day

My days were predictable
They were all painted grey
Any source of light was soon dimmed
To an even shade of grey

The first time I met you
I realized
Your shade of grey was only slightly darker than mine

Soon enough
Our shadows combined
The clouds mended
And the devil in our mind united

Looking back
I realize
That the hovering cloud stayed with you
Along with everything else
While I left in search of light
