Stolen Glances

On a train facing backwards

I steal glances

Of mirrored regrets

And missed chances

Girl in the window

Looks like me

With a shadow

No one else can see

Stolen Glances look back and find

The answer in the passages of time

On a train facing backwards

On a train facing backwards

I hear laughter

Of travellers

Embracing a new chapter

A smile for them

While my soul heaves

With uncertainty

That always follows me

Stolen Glances look back and find

Riddles in the passages of time

On a train facing backwards

On a train facing backwards

I move forward

Against my will life

Becomes more ordered

Times a healer

Or so they say

My heart strives

To disobey

Stolen Glances look back and find

Reason in the passages of time

On a train facing backwards

On a train facing backwards

I steal glances
