    I sat, at the station,
    Waiting patiently for
    That train, destined for me
    Which would take me
    To the place I belong 
    Many trains come by
    As the time went by
    I still waited and waited 
    For that one train to come by
    As the wind played with time
    As the birds screeched the voiceless chimes
    I still waited,
    For that train to come by
    Suddenly, I heard it
    The train in charm 
    It shone like a star
    In the gleam-less night sky
    It came to the station
    Waiting for me to hop on
    But the drunk adult in my heart
    Pulled me back 
    I contemplated and argued with it
    But until then, the train had gone

    I sat there, on the ground 

    Thinking it would come back

    But unfortunately, it didn’t;

    And it is now gone

    Disappeared in black

    Now, many trains come by

    And I sit and cry;

    As the cupid in me, died

    But I still wait

    For that train to come by
