I was immersed in darkness, so I turned on a light.
I just sat there and watched...
As time grew on, so did the light, and each day it grew stronger on its own.
I wanted to see the light full, so I helped it to flourish and in return, the darkness was gone.
I smiled to myself, always watching how the light acted, keeping awake all along the way.
Then one night I was tired, I gave into sleep, but the light stayed on, fully awake.
It saw what I was doing -- sleeping and dreaming. It noticed how I felt -- happy.
It wanted to do the same, so it grew and kept on growing.
The next morning, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I awoke, unknowing of the night's events.
Turning around I saw her. The light had taken a shape, it was with a form but still giving off a heavenly glow. I asked her name, she pondered for a while and then said “you decide”.
I chose "shadow", for she was my and I was her -- Shadow. After that I fully awoke, her form was gone, she went back to light in heart... and a friend in mind.
I find her each night. All I needed was hope and she returned. And thus we became friends. We are friends to this day and shall stay forever...
