A Good Talk (stories)

At times I am up but mostly down
I am attached to you and we hold hands
You can find me at your side and I follow hastily if you are in a hurry.

I never stand still unless you stop and there's no light near to show my reflection.
Not once I asked you to do me a favour but you always seem to remember me
You carry me around and let me fly, take me out of the darkest forest
make me see the mountaintops and life.

You are the best friend ever and awesome.

Your friends are really cool and accept me each time I show up.
No one is scared to see me
Not even if I appear like a giant covering the biggest part of the forest, a mountain or the wall of a skyscraper.

Not once they said I am a monster, spitting fire and bringing bad luck.
I know, I know I can be huge
I can be bigger than you but I also shrink a minute later into a very tiny figure and change
from clear to see into a blurry one hard to recognise and disappear if we are about to have some fun.

I appear out of the blue, protect against the heat
I am the silent wallflower.
It's great to be part of you.

I feel very close and believe we are one of the same species.
We both show up on certain occasions
Like you, I jump and laugh for joy if we don't sleep.

Dragon, you are me and I am you.
You are my living shadow.
I feel so lucky to have your contours but..

I do have a question:
Can I take the lead for a change and you follow me and are my shadow?
