“A Glimpse Of You, A Journey Of Two”

We swapped seats in train,
You by the window, and me in vain.
You wanted to see the world outside,
And I wanted to stare at you with pride.

The train chugged on, and you saw the sights,
The mountains, the rivers, the city lights.
You pointed and smiled, in awe of the view,
While I stole glances, admiring you.

Your eyes shone bright, with each passing scene,
I couldn’t help but think how lucky I’ve been,
To sit beside someone so full of life,
A companion to share this train ride.

We swapped seats in train,
And I got to see beauty in a different way,
Through your eyes, your smile, your delight,
A memory I’ll cherish, a moment so bright

She got off at her station,
And we parted ways, without hesitation.
Our time together, just a fleeting moment,
A shared experience, forever a component.

As she gathered her things, I couldn’t help but feel,
A sense of loss, as if something unreal.
We exchanged a smile, and a brief goodbye,
And then she left, without a tear or a sigh.

The train continued on, without her by my side,
And I couldn’t help but think, what if I had tried?
To make a connection, to ask for her name,
But it was too late, the moment had gone, the opportunity lame.

We swapped seats in train,
And for a moment, our lives intertwined.
Now as I look out the window, alone,
I wonder if our paths will ever again be entwined.
