I didn't feel you say goodbye
Not even blink, try as I might
To grasp a fading smile from you
Without the words "I'll miss you, too"
The train now slowly gathers pace
As separation wins the race
And fade to daylight, if you will
You had your fun, now pay the bill
A solar sparkle in the air
Beats down its judgement so unfair
Unchanged, it urges "carry on"
A second's solace come and gone
A ripple on the river's wave
A week and we can't even wave
A weak and wonderful farewell
Forget me not and wish me well
Reflective of an older route
Each facet in this endless chute
A present passed away in time
Some absolution for my crime
See me now, if time should allow
Oh if we knew, we'd see this through
