meet me at the station
stay with me downtown,
hear the words i speak
watch me hear yours.
feel the lights flicker
and appear –
slowly
as the sun disappears.
watch my fingers twist and turn
fidgeting
reaching for yours
lacing, listening.
we are the only ones.
the station –
people come and go,
but we don’t.
it is us, and us only.
so meet me at the station,
stay with me till dark –
till everything’s alright again
till we’re ready to say good night.
