Shade of You In Me

Shade of you in me
Yeah, days can be brutal and polite
They have set in you and me a mighty fire alight
A ragging fire, blazing delight
The flames we both know will twilight
Leaving a shade of you in me

No matter how, no matter when 
No matter where you go
A shade of you will stay with me
Always a shade of you in me

This love came so strong
Even when it seemed so wrong
But love has power to stay so long
That it paint a shade of you in my heart

You’re the sticky-stuck-stuff tucked in my heart
You’re the loved impropriety property of my heart
You’re my thought’s handwriting, the colour of my heart 
Your love is the brush, painting a shade of you in me

When I love, I love you
When I miss someone, I miss you
When I feel, I feel you
When I want, I want you
Because there is a shade of you in me

Never been in this kind of love
Never been with this kind of a lover
Never have had this kind of desire
Until I had a shade of you in me
