I'm trying hard to forget you,
But my empty walls won't let me let you go,
When you took it all,
You forgot your shadow,
Say you wish me well without you,
But something 'bout you,
Tells me that you know,
When you took it all you forgot...
You shadow,
Your shadow,
When you took it all you forgot your shadow,
Your shadow,
Your shadow...
It's always there, too close too much,
The shape of something I can't touch,
I turn, and find the shadow's grown...
Those empty eyes, I begged to stay,
Are watching me from yesterday,
You can leave me, can you leave me alone?
I'm trying hard to forget you,
But my empty walls won't let me let you go,
Let me go...
You say you wish me well without you,
But something 'bout you tells me that you know,
When you took it all you forgot...
Your shadow,
Your shadow,
When you took it all you forgot your shadow,
Your shadow,
Your shadow...
When you took it all you forgot,
your shadow, your shadow...

So, I've been wanting to use this song for a while, and recently felt like it described Rena and Kamau's relationship perfectly. I figured that with them both being in love together, leaving wasn't such an easy choice for Kamau. He'd constantly be thinking of her and would struggle with the desire to return. Rena, on the other hand, being the pawn that she is, would have resigned herself to the fact that being with Kamau wasn't a good choice for her, but she'd still be unable to move on. She would see him everywhere and be constantly thinking of him.
In other words, when Kamau left, he left behind his shadow.
Hope you guys like this^^
