Pull through, a soggy walk to work in the sideways rain
The bus stops and bodegas a sad refrain
The young in love upstairs kept him up again
“Hey you,” a lonely voice rejoices from underground
Calling the lost with the word that they might be found
Feeling the rain in his shoes as he moves along
And he thinks…
I, I’m still in love with you
High noon, he waits for the sound of the ring but the call won’t come
Pictures of her on the desk, guessing, going, gone
Replays and revisions across his tongue
Someday soon, he’ll take the flight just like she had asked him to
Leave behind a world worth letting go
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow
And he thinks…
I, I’m still in love with you
