As I Rode the Train

In melancholy, I watched. 

As the cityscape slowly disappeared, 
the sky grew darker, 
my heart heavier. 
And soon enough vast tracks 
of empty lands emerged 
right before my eyes. 
All the gray turned to green. 
I have fallen in love with this place 
mere second before I said goodbye.
