On a Bus Leaving Town


We said our goodbyes
                   in a dream last night

you were getting on a bus 

                                 leaving town


I followed under your window

                as it slowly started to leave


and reached up to touch 

                   your hand one last time


the last thing I saw was a stranger 

                     lighting your cigarette
