Elevator Man

You told me you couldn't wait to leave
You said you were staying here for work.
Also mentioned you were going on vacation in two weeks.
I asked where you were going 
you said anywhere but here. 

You told me you can go anywhere for work
I wish I stayed and talked to you longer
I want to know what you do
Where you have gone
Where you want to go. 

5 second elevator ride
I debated going up to you when I saw you sitting in the lobby
But i figured you'd want to be alone
so i remained in my chair.

I'll never see you again
Just wish i could know more about you,
Elevator man.
