Poem- Man woman and Shadow

This is an old poem written in my early twenties.One of my favourites.Posting it here .

The relationship of a man and a woman
Was like a person and his shadow....

In the morning they rose tall and high,
The beginning of love, no signs of a sigh.
The journey was long, distance unmeasured,
Differences arose, the paths were to change,
The heat was terrible, more terrible their minds,
It was mid/(day/way), they were definitely tired...
The heat gave in, I smelt a compromise,
Fresh breath of air, an unmentioned silent sacrifice.
The sunset again and what do I see?
Midday differences had melted away,
And they grew taller and higher merging into one
With dreams of starting all over again................
