Got your WeChat that day
Just standing there come what may
Waiting on the K436 to Wuhan
Hoping you’d read the note I began
Left open on the table right there
I know you’d just read it with a polite steady stare
But you’ll never know across the miles
I’m crying in the quiet hiding my tears
You said somebody had to make the first move
So I stepped up with nothing to prove
Waited six long years I can’t pretend—
I won't let my story fade without an end
I gave up so much just to be by your side
But you say it was my choice that I had nowhere to hide
You act like my heart wasn't yours to claim
Like my name was never tied to your flame
The train is late but my tears fall like rain
A sudden downpour the second I board the train
Sky clouds hills streams—what keeps us apart
I don't know what's standing between our hearts
In that letter I wrote: “I’ll walk my own road
To find a life that I can hold on my own ”
I still remember the nights that we shared—
Every embrace like we didn't care
Pouring all our years into a single hour there
I don't dare see you not even from afar
'Cause just your shadow cuts me like a scar
No rain no storm could ever put out
The fire in my heart leaving no doubt
Those late-night texts the words I used to keep
Now I’m crying as I delete them putting them to sleep
Line by line letting go
Erasing every memory one last time
Hear the heavy rain the rails sing with the train
I’m moving forward I won't stay the same
Let this downpour wash this dream away
From now on our love will just fade to gray
Buried in a corner where nobody can go
Deep in the silence where the tears never show
