We are five minutes apart

It is finished full stop

Our love has trickled away

You are walking towards the railway station

I am staring at my stained coffee cup

It is as empty as my thoughts

The rains have now turned to snow

It is snowing quite hard

I think of you waiting for your train

Your collar drawn against the icy wind

You should be in my arms

Protected and warm

So I make haste to towards you

Careless in dress without my coat

And there you are stepping away

In a minute you will travel out of my life

I grab your woollen scarf

And tell you that I cannot live without you

You do not speak but your tears answer me
