88 are the keys on a piano,
88, the pages of my journal,
filled with memories of us together,
88, the days I waited forever
just to say,
without you, I can't live a day.

A thousand and one notes I played,
while you were far away,
but none rang as shattered,
as my heart, broken and battered.

When I see the morning sky,
and you're not by my side,
I think of it all,
all that's gone by,
since that goodbye,
at the station where we cried.

One more day, unsure,
of what lies in store—
will you come back,
or must I wait more?
