shades of the past

shades of the past

i board the bus

and i found a seat

i take my place
and close my eyes

i plugged into my music
and then i open my eyes,

turn to my right

we were sitting there
holding our hands together
as if our lives entwine like vines

we were in each others' embrace
warmth never felt so real
oh we are meant to be
meant to be together

i took a walk alone
on the path of our histories
and the memories dawn on me
like they were seconds away

but as the winds blew by

the image of you in my eyes
turns to dust
and you...

we were sitting there
holding our hands together
as if our lives entwine like vines

we were in each others' embrace
warmth never felt so real
oh we are meant to be
meant to be together

but you left me
to myself
on the bus
and alone
to walk ahead

all i can see
as i look to my left
you disappearing into the air

all i can see
as i look behind
the shadows of you and mine...

and you...
you're the shades of the past...
