Mirrored streets glisten
Under the hollow lights
Windows, like empty eyes
Gaze upon lonely sights.
It's rain-filled nights like this
Where I'll find you waiting,
Your form a silhouette
Caressed by wind's sighing.
My steps quicken, breathless
I fly to where you are,
Standing there, still the same
As that day from afar.
Time was never ours to begin with,
So we danced those golden days.
But quickly did the shadows eclipse
Your shining soul from my embrace.
They tell me you were never mine,
But why does your music still beckon,
And why does my heart still tremble,
When I know, I know you're gone?
It's rain-filled nights like this
Where I'll see you, under tearless skies
Just like those days, and I wish,
How I wish—
For a time that never flies.
