9.11.06

i stood in front of you for a while,

before moving away to take a seat, because i didnt realise that you were sitting behind me.

if things had ended there, i would be ignorant and the day would have went by as usual. but you caught my eye when you were getting up, and i knew that it was too late for me to do or say anything. you alighted, the door closed, and the train began to move.

overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness and resignation at fate's cruel joke, all i could do was to catch a glimpse of you through the window, as the train sped swiftly into the darkness of the tunnel.
