i think when i grow up
i want to be your shadow

there's the obvious advantage
of being your constant companion

but then there is the fact
of sunny days
they'd be the best

you'd be in the park,
soaking it all in
and i'd be there too
right behind
or beside you

depending on the position of the sun

and on the grey days
when you're tired
or too drunk
trying to find your way back
i'd be there then too
making sure
you made it

i realize it isn't much
as career goals go
but if there's ever a position open
please
keep me in mind.
