She’s already on
When I board
The city-bound train.
He gets on
Just before the city.
Their eyes light up
When they see each other,
Beaming smiles,
Happily animated conversation,
Before alighting together
At Richmond.
Seeing the joy and bond
Of these two,
Other passengers
Will change seats
Allowing them to be together.
This daily ritual
Of delight
Shines
Amid the morning gloom.
Love’s unintended gift
