He waits everyday at the store

Waiting for him to come

He said he would be here

He said he would come

He waits everyday at the store

The boy stops coming after a year

And then the man appears

I’m here he says but theres no one their

He goes in the store and asks about the boy

They say he waited for a year and suddenly disappeared

He goes out of the store he was too late to save him from fate

He walks along the streets a ghost in the crowds

He isn’t real

He is a phantom

He was trying to save the boy at the corner store
