Walking down the road
Full of busy people
But then everything stops
When someone who left
Came back, it seems

How dare you come back
After leaving for five years
With no notice
Not even a social network update

It was like you were a fugitive
Running in the night
Jumping trains
But what were you running from

Reality
Life
Responsibility
Family

Did you like floating in the air like a leaf?
Did memory lane finally catch up with you?

It doesn’t really matter
It’s not like you’ll get me back
It’s called moving on
I did it long ago
