In the heart of the city,

under the neon lights,

our paths crossed,

igniting endless nights.

Back at my house,

That dark blue door,

With a hope of someday,

It will mean more.

I walk in

But it doesn’t feel right,

Not without him by my side.

Maybe if I read a book

It’ll pass the time,

And I won’t have to think

About that night.

Our paths have crossed,

And now he’s gone.

Never to be back,

Cause he wants something more.

The neon lights

Are now nothing but dim,

The empty streets

This chill of the city air.

In the heart of this city,

Where I used to be happy.

Is a place I’m leaving,

So I can go be with my family.
