Sitting on a train
Near me lies a stranger
The ride is so mundane
I would rather be in danger

Taking a small glance at them
How can they sleep on a train so peacefully?
The train tracks are loud as a hen
Are they dreaming blissfully?

Kinda cute, are they single?
Nevermind, it's none of my buissness
Yet my hands excitedly wriggle
And I can't help but imagine as they lie here listless

The train sways as my heart beats fast
Sneaking another glance, that's all I can do
I kinda wonder, how was their past?
They'd probably never fall for me, I already know that to be true

Sitting here for hours on end
They're now awake, I glance again
Maybe we could at least be friends?
I'm insane, I just met them

Yet I feel so connected
Feeling my pulse go into my feet
Where are we headed again?
Should I even take the leap?

Suddenly the train door opens
My pupils go small and my eyes wide
I see them get up and walk out in slow-motion
I quickly get up and follow them off my ride

I reach my hand out
The room goes cold as they flutter away
"That didn't happen.." I say in doubt
But it seems I'm all alone today
