Beyond the Shadows

Beyond the shadows 
there's something you don't see.
Beyond the shadows
you really do love me. 

Beyond the shadows
of what you hide behind.
There's something more about you 
beyond the shadows of your mind.

Beyond the walls
you build around your heart
you open up a little light for me,
it seems it is a start.

Beyond the shadows 
you want what I know will be.
Beyond the dark shadows
I will make you free.

Hi Alison, you are correct, it does, I did, I ended up marrying her. I'm pleased you liked it. Thank you for your comment. Ron
