Pretty girl I met on the train

My elbow was resting on the safety rail
My other hand was holding my head from sleep
You climbed on the train, before the sun was up
Quick decision, you decided to sit next to me
Without saying an initial word, enjoyed your company
You were shy about the unraveling thread on you knees
I was curious about which books you like to read
Both wearing earphones, modern do not disturb signs
Looking down, with your black hair falling over your eyes
I looked quite shyly, every now and then, then look away
You noticed me, and made a point of looking, when I was not
So we played this game, telling myself, I have no reasons
No ring on your finger, married to my shyness

30 minutes later, our destination, last station
Accidentally touching my arm, a couple of times
Eventually I managed to force a smile, you wave lightly
And I whisper something about hoping to meet you on the train again
