The Station Platform

I didn’t mean to leave you waiting

I didn’t mean to leave you behind

I swear I tried to make it

But I was a victim of time

I felt so sad when I saw you there

Staring at the clock

I tried to break through fear’s barrier

But couldn’t get past its invisible block

And when my arrival time had come and passed

I was still no closer than I was before

I knew that you had probably gone

But I allowed myself to hope that you would wait a little more
