Eye Contact


For over ten years 

We travelled on the same train 

I was vaguely aware of you 

Because of the raven beauty 

Of your soulful eyes 

We rarely spoke 

I knew that you were married 

As I had seen you in the town 

With your serene family 

I was in love with you 

And I believe that you loved me 

You no longer travel on the morning train 

It is said that you moved from the area 

So you might live by the sea
