Eye contact with a stranger on a passing train
That cinematic swelling soundtrack moment
Our hero is lost in thoughts, but sees the girl of his dreams.
She holds his gaze for as long as she can
Broken open before him
Her heart spills across the platform,
making tracks to his.
Life flashes before his eyes,
not his.
Her hopes and dreams are writ upon this moment.
The train leaves the station
Their gaze is broken
She holds in her heart a glimpse of what a world with him could be.
Carries it with her, a seashell token from a long forgotten summers day.
Maybe they will meet one day and she will tell him all the things that she has dreamt.
Maybe not.
i looked into his eyes and saw the deeper side, of a life i once had had.
