I wait for you at the train station
Watching as time tics by
Everyday I meet new faces as I wait for yours
Slowly day becomes night
But I still wait for your presence
But time goes too fast and I breathe my last as I remember our first moment
I remember your gentle hands picking me up
I remember how you welcomed me to your family what ever it costed
And I remember you teaching me how to catch a ball
Life slowly fades from my visions
As we are now finally reunited at last
