At the station

At the station

Your train departs

Leaving platform number one

I know this time

I will never see your face again

Except in dreams

And in my memory

Why am I the one who is left

Sad yet grateful too

To be moving on

There comes a time of leaving for us all

And we can not hold on

To that whose time has come to pass

For time is calling them and us

In different directions

To different destinations

We walk away from the station platform

With heavy hearts

But also with the promise

Of

Spring in our step
