Where else would you sit calmly

Travelling at speeds of 125 mph

Be here we are facing each other

Drinking coffee

Texting

Reading newspapers

Watching the world pass by

We met on a train many years ago

And to think I nearly missed that train

Our children are only here because

I was able to change platforms quickly

If I had not run so fast I would have not met you

And now I am watching you sleep

The motion of the train has made you drowsy

You are as beautiful and serene

As you were on the first day of our journey
