PLATFORM
Platform 2
I waited for you
The sunset came first
Then hurt showed up
I loved you before I knew
What love was
Platform 3
I thought you’d miss me
I thought you’d left in a hurry
I wasn’t on your mind
Not a priority
I left the train
You left me
You weren’t here to see
But the sun did
At least the sun paid me a visit
At least the sun doesn’t make me feel worthless
Platform 2
I’ve moved on
But not from you.
