You and I watch as she leaves

Disappearing behind the car doors

I say nothing, I don't want to break the silence

Your tears say it all


You never wanted her to leave

You thought she would stay

She promised you but broke that vow

Left your heart to shatter by itself

Left you to pick up the pieces


I was different

I wanted her to leave

But I wanted her to stay

I couldn't make up my mind

All because of you


Of your brown eyes, soft like a doe's

Your smile that broke any tension or hard feelings

Your hands worn out from helping others

Your heart as pure as the brightest diamond


Now your eyes, wet with tears, have lost life

Your smile non-existent, your face etched with permanent sadness

Your hands clenched as the train says goodbye

Your heart unfixable, as it leaves for good

As she leaves for good


We stand for another hour, and another,

until day became night,

Until the tears were dry, your face unreadable

Your hands limp, but your heart still broken


You wanted to stay, so I left you there

Watching your figure get smaller and smaller

It wasn't until the morning after

That I figured the train took you too


It's been twenty years now, how are you?

You haven't come back in ages

So I've decided to visit you


As the wind blows my hair in my fave

I smile; you're here with me


I step up to the plat more, so close to the edge

I can hear you calling me


The train's greeting draws nearing,

It's almost time

I inch slowly,

Slowly


And just like that, I'm the train's last passenger
