Shade 41: Ghost in the Back of My Head

I see you in shadows
When I’m out on the street
I know it can’t be you but I look again
And in the crowd I see your face

I see you in shadows
When I’m ready for sleep
I try not to remember but there you are
Like a roadmap to a familiar place

I see you in shadows
When I’m thinking of youth
I wish I didn’t it’s more bitter than sweet
So I still try to not recall

I see you in shadows
Though years have rolled by
And for whatever reason I think I am glad
At least I still see you at all
