I was kissed goodbye
on a train
It was in Berlin
and by the time I came home
I was puffy eyed,
heartbroken
and torn up inside

But life is ironic
because just a few short months later
after patching myself up
and standing up tall
I opened myself
unknowingly
to the universe

And I was kissed goodbye
on a train
in Manhattan
and by the time I came home
I had a smile I couldn't wipe off,
a full heart
and an inner glow

I am grateful
For traveling
and for giving
kissing goodbye on a train
a second chance
