train station

And somehow we always end up there when both of us need to take a step back from reality. It's like there's a force that guides both of us there so we can throw all our fears and worries into the tracks. It's our safe haven, the closest we'll ever get to heaven.

I'll always remember walking up those steps with you and going into the bright sunlight. I'll always remember going down to the tracks, death being a foot away from me. But then, I'd look back at you and I'd see your face smiling down on me. Knowing that you were there made me feel safe. Your presence makes me feel safe.

On one side, you could see the school and playground and teens; you've gotta call them kids, walking around and having fun. On the other side, you could see apartments and rooftops and that one huge church I've always wanted to visit. And then the middle. I've never payed attention to the middle. I think that's because I would always pay attention to you instead.

You had this beauty that would just radiate the world around us. Your silky hair would just glow in the sunlight around us, your round eyes reflecting the future. You were beautiful. You are beautiful. You're always going to be the definition of beauty in my eyes.

There were always Arizona bottles on the floor and cigarettes in the tracks and graffiti that's been barely painted over. There was always two girls who came up there, spent a couple minutes and then went back down.

It always seems magical, doesn't it? Like a certain feeling comes over us when we go up there. When we leave, it lingers but it's mostly gone. It's only ever going to be that specific train station to me. The rest will just be train stations. This one will always be ours.
