Dark Rainy Night

It was dark that night.

I wandered home alone in the rain

My mind was racing with thousands of thoughts

It was cold and I was going insane

 

I knew that what I was doing was wrong

But it was too late to turn it around

Already in flight but I wasn’t flying

I was ready to fall to the ground

 

Somewhere above me I heard you shout

I’m sorry that I couldn’t stop you from falling

I was already gone, you were lost in a dream

My name, I could hear you constantly calling

 

Two months have gone and I miss your arms

The first ones to hold me the way that I wished

We were not right but you never stopped hoping

I never thought you’d be something I’d miss

 

I stood by the tracks without you there beside me

It was then that I knew there was no looking back

The train travelled far from your small, lonely station

As the colour between us faded to black

 

I never wanted to make you hate me

Maybe you needed time to get away

But you broke your promise, maybe I broke your heart

Now I will remember that everyday

 

Suddenly you appear in my dreams

I long to feel the warmth I once felt

Yet I was so scared the last time that we met

You never understood that it couldn’t be helped

 

The words have all stopped since the silence that day

I wonder if someone else brings you new light

I wonder if I am still crossing your mind

Because you are crossing mine tonight
