I stood there
watching the faces of strangers
walking on the platform.
Getting on trains
Going to destinations
Unknown to me.

Face, after face, after face
having their own lives to live
having their own dreams
their own goals.

I searched for your face in the crowd
time going by
getting more and more disappointed
not seeing you
not hearing your voice
the voice that gave me a reason to dream
Hurry!
Hurry, I thought...
hoping that my thought could reach you.
Fearing that it couldn't.

And then I saw you
An angel in the crowd
Causing my heart to start skipping beats
Walking closer
and closer
and closer
You made it on time!
You made it on time!

The voice of the conductor in the distance
letting you know
All aboard...
The sound of the engines starting
barely covering the sound of my heart in my chest.
I wanted to tell you how much I love you.
The words never left my lips...

You went on walking
Passing by
Just another face in the crowd
You didn't even turn to look at me
And my heart stopped
For it had no purpose to keep on beating...

Once more
The train left without any passenger........

(Thank you for letting me listen to your voice....)
