People Let Each Other Go

You cradle your camera

Your breath clouds the lens

You've frozen a moment in time

I'll keep it long after it ends

Your pupils dilating

I stare through the window and on to the street

You order a breakfast

I know you won't eat

I'm not sentimental

ct least not anymore

'Cause people let each other go

You're crossing the river

I called out your name I guess you didn't hear

I wait for the tourists and students to pass

Then disappear

The sky is erupting

I don't have a ticket but still I can see

cncient streets lined with white blossom

The wind charmed from the tree

I'm not sentimental

ct least not anymore

Thought you'd always be someone I'd know

But people let each other go
