"only shadows remain"

Cause and effect a simple truth
Look at your choices to see the proof
The past was, it can never be changed
In our minds, only shadows remain

All we have is here and now
You reap what you sow, now its time to plow
The past is the past is just what they say
In our lives, only shadows remain

Some will forget, while others re-live
Keep moving forward, is the only advice I can give
People look to the past, it is always the same
Within our past, only shadows remain

Before you blame, just know your part
Set into motion, when the universe did start
Love is not exempt, it is governed the same
In our hearts, only shadows remain

Inside of me, you exist in my heart
My love still strong, although we are apart
My insecurities, so I burden the shame
Of all my love for you, only shadows remain.

It’s not only choices, it’s the universes way
Where ever there is cause, then an effect has to play
Interconnected with all, rules govern this game
Throughout the universe, only shadows remain
