I'm alone
sitting with my empty gla**
my four walls
follow me through my past
i was on a paris train
i emerged in london rain
and you were waiting there
swimming through apologies
i remember searching for the perfect words
i was hoping you might change your mind
i remember a soldier sleeping next to me
riding on the metro
you wore white
smiling as you took my hand
so removed
we spoke of wintertime in france
minutes pa**ed with shallow words
years have pa**ed and still the hurt
i can see you now
smiling as you pulled away
i remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"i'll love you always" filled my eyes
i remember a night we walked along the seine
riding on the metro
