a shadow can fly

a shadow can fly

is it magic or just a hallucination
a strange dream or a sheer imagination
coz i can see in it a smile and a cry
never had thought that a shadow can fly

it used to follow my footsteps in the past
it used to stay unexpressive and frost
but now it looks into my eyes with eyes no more dry
yes its true now i realize that a shadow can fly

never had i thought that it would question me
never had i realized that it is different from me
but now when it opened its wings no more shy
i held my breath to see that a shadow can fly

am i afraid that it would leave me n disappear
am i sad that it would strip me of all my colour
atleast it would take away all the darkness and sigh
perhaps i should accept that a shadow can fly

i wonder how life would be without it with me
i wonder what existence it would have without me
all i know is that i must atleast bid it a goodbye and realize
that the last thing i wanted to see was, a shadow can fly
