I step onto the train

Remember the first time he made me cry

Because he asked if I wanted him to sit with me

And I felt safe saying no

To ride alone with my own thoughts

 

It is the last scheduled tonight

I step onto the train

The conductor warns me not to miss my stop

I remember the time I missed it texting him

And had to walk from the next station

 

The last time I saw him in person

I wept, surprised and confused

I step onto the train

I said I didn’t understand, can you tell me more

And wasn’t prepared for the answer

 

I asked if we could meet up to chat

They said the timing would work

Its been over a month

I step onto the train

Of course the cancellation text comes after that

 

I see him on the station

And wish I hadn’t 

I consider making a pit stop at the bar

And grieve the fact that I want to hide from him

I step onto the train
