As the line stretches for a mile,

I'd noticed you forcing to hide a smile.

All these busy people passed on us;

As they try to choose between a train or a bus.

I lost you as you were swallowed by the crowd

My eyes looked for you there and all around,

But then I saw you there standing on the frontline,

I felt surprised and knew you were just fine

The train door opened to let us in

But the cruel crowd's frenzy now starts to begin.

Funny how I sat and you just stood;

To offer a seat with such a distance from you? Who would?

We already passed a number of stations;

But my mind still asked a lot of questions…

How? What? Who the hell are you?

Silly queries not answerable by Yes or No…

My android starts to play Taylor Swift's "Beautiful Eyes";

That's when I caught you looking at me--why?

Then comes the slowing down of the train,

Then wild synaptic impulse starts stirring in my brain.

The next stop is when I will be off,

A feeling of letdown starts to go aloft;

Then you stood too and readied to go out.

"What?!" -- was my mind's silent loud shout.

My thoughts keep on wandering,

On places, things, people and feelings.

Were you at the same pages as I am too?

Or this is just a stupid point of view?

I hope this'll be gone as too fast as it came;

For there's only one whom I'm going to blame.

For the last time, as I turned in the corner,

You just smiled while looking deeply far somewhere…

I stared at you walking away at the opposite track;

I hoped and wished, "Please, look back…"

You just walked, and walked, and walked on,

Until finally, and sadly you were gone…
