It was the first time ever I boarded a train.
Or maybe the second, I don’t remember.
But I remember it was a winter night.
You booked my tickets for the train
And were on call when I had to find my seats.
The journey started with eight hours to go,
I was thinking about the time I’d see you
And planning the things we would do.
I was excited or maybe nervous.
And the journey continued with almost eight hours to go.
The first few hours, I looked through the windows.
Barely anything to see through the closed ones
Still I saw lights from the houses as I pass by.
I wonder what the people inside be doing.
They were probably be talking about their day,
How it was a good one or maybe a bad one.
I wished I could cuddle you in bed and listen to you
Describing your day, every day.
Passing through all those talks,
Six hours seemed like eternity when that’s what stood between us.
And the journey continued with almost six hours to go.
I read our old texts through the next few hours.
All those cheesy good mornings and sad good nights,
I still wonder why those nights were sad.
And now all the houses are sleeping and I can hear all the dreams.
And the dream of my own woke up.
Being with you was my dream and even on a train to you,
They seem unusually dreamy and vivid.
Those were all blissful dreams not any nightmares.
And I was still in train to you with five and a half hour to go.
I probably had dozed off,
It was only an hour to you.
The sounds of birds was not clear with the scream of the train.
I remember being cold during the sleep wishing you were there.
I felt so excited or nervous and felt butterflies in my stomach.
It felt like forever before I saw you last.
And now I’m minutes away from you, dreaming about you.
When the train stopped I rushed out
So I walked out of the station, how you taught me to.
And then remembered it was the second time I boarded a train.
I walked through the platform, saw you from distance
I wanted to run towards you, but nervous or excited, I couldn’t move.
You ran towards me and hugged me close.
I got all calm, and my body relaxed.
All those eight hours stood at that one moment you hugged me
All eternity paused for you.
