well you don't sweep away your shadows...
they come whenever the sun does.
but, if you and your shadow are familiar with each other, you could even be friends.
My problem is I think I've confused my shadow because it never has discernable features these days.
probably a consequence of general complacency

thats why I am looking for someone whom likely isn't real but I may manage to persuade into becoming a real boy with the help of my fairy godmother or whatever
