Darkness and Light
A shadow, yeah, thats what he was. No one important or popular, not bad looking but easily dismissed in terms of looks. Normal to the point of disappearing into a crowd, even from the crowd. But he didn't mind, he chose to be like this, to be nothing more then a shadow, alone even in public. He'd already endured the death of loved ones, betrayal of friends, and rejection from various people for various reasons. So is it any wonder when he looked at his heart and saw the many cracks on it, he decided to lock it safely away and bury it deep within him, if only to protect it, to protect himself from any more pain?

Besides, he had important matters to attend to that didn't need feelings, so for him, being a shadow of a man was ok. And so he spent his days working hard, saving up, doing what was needed. "I'm fine, I'm ok", this is what he told people time and time again and he began to believe himself. But then one day a radiant and firey young woman came into this shadow's life, by now he'd regarded most women as either attractive or not and then went about his business, but this woman was different, her warmth and light cast deep into his being, found his heart, and the heart, which had frozen over from neglect, thawed, and began to beat. And this shadow looked to it and wondered, Why....how? He looked to the woman she was attractive yes, but that didn't seem to be the answer, so he approached her and began to talk with her, and the more they talked about themselves, the more his heart beat, and the cracks began healing. Could it be...could I have found the one?
Now before he'd put his heart away he had been searching for one that could inspire the true feeling of love in his heart. So when his heart began to heal, began to beat stronger and stronger, it struck this shadow, that maybe this woman of firey light maybe was the one he'd been looking for all along. A smile came to his face, and he and the lady of light became friends. For a time they shared much about one another, had fun together, often playing pranks on one another, when either was down, the other would comfort them. Eventually, the lady if light grew to like the shadow as more then a friend and thought maybe she could be in love with him. One day the shadow was in a mischievious mood and decided to play a prank on the lady of light, little did he know that the prank would dredge up a memory of her's, a part of her past she kept secret from him, so when he played the prank, he found himself not laughing, but shocked at how angrily she reacted. She yelled her outrage at him and threatened to leave him for his offence.
All at once, the cracks she had healed in his heart burst anew and he felt a pain like never before. Deperately he begged her not to go, offering one apology after another till his throat was sore. Eventually the lady of light forgave him, but her trust in the shadow was torn, so she offered this to him, "I see you are indeed sorry, but still, my trust is shaken. I shall remain your friend, but you must work to regain my love and trust." The shadow thanked her for her mercy and agreed to her offer. Now all the shadow can think is, I will prove myself worthy of your love and trust once more, for I cannot live without you.
