We stood in Holborn station, br ten minutes the train will leave, br amidst people reaching destinations, br winter air so hard to breathe. br br Littered baskets, seats and kiosks, br tickets on the ground, br one word from your lips br would make me turn around. br br If only I had asked you wait! br Please don't go yet, br stop and talk to me, br my life's moment go I let. br br Thoughts: br If I had touched your hand, br if I caressed your hair, br if I kissed your fingertips, br if I had shown my care. br br Will you return and talk again br can I hold you close, br let me really understand br the one I love the most. br br City streets of yellow lights br on nights so dark and wintry, br a year has passed since you left br how long the hours defeat me. br br Nights of making love br moments our eyes have seen, br ecstasy of joy surrounds our bed, br breathing out as you are breathing in. br br I still have the memory br to keep our love anew, br how can love fade br for someone as lovely as you. br br Now back into my world br where life is day to day, br you never come to the train br no more, my heart gone away. br br I had a moment of light br in a lifetime of darkness, br a way to change this tangled mess, br a way of escape but no more, no less. br br I failed to reach the gate, br the train disappeared in vain, br in my foolish self doubt br I will never see you again.
