you sit there, alone.
head resting against the window
eyes closed, mouth still.
i stride past, and look up
out of curiosity
and see you there, oblivious.
first i greet you, loudly
i wave my arms, jump around
smile; surely, you'll see me.
yet you stay unmoved,
gently breathing, clouds appearing
on the clear glass.
slightly frustrated, unnerved by your
pale, drowning expression
i can't leave you like this.
rough fists banging against the smooth
my face falls
i need you to see me.
people are staring
but don't you see? i don't care
its just you and me.
finally, softly, i murmur your name.
your eyelids flicker, lips part slightly
then the train moves away
i am left standing
head remains searching for your gaze
a recognition
like you know that i'm still here.
