Wait, don’t give up hope
She will come
She promised she would make it
Don’t leave without her
Never has she broken her word
You know she will make it
Scared, that’s all you are
The train hasn’t even pulled in yet
No way she will miss it
Just think about anything else
After today it’s just the two of you
No parents to keep you apart
Friends who keep trying to break you up
Ex’s that can’t stay away
Nothing to break you apart, just yourselves
Look at your watch
You need a distraction start to walk the platform
Think about all the things you will have to do
Make a to-do list in your head
The train pulls in finally
You look at your watch, the train leaves in 30 minutes
A message over the PA system
They are calling you to the service desk
A message from who?
You make your way to the desk, dark thoughts arise
The darkest comes to your mind
She is calling to tell you she won’t make it
You can’t shake the thought
You are shaking as you make your way to the desk
You tell them your name and they had you the phone
Your mom, it’s just her
Mom is trying to stop you
The greatest relief sets in, it’s just her
You tell her off
She tells you that you are cut off from the family
You hang up and walk back to the track
Proud that you stood up and stuck to your guns
Sad that you left your family in such a way
The track is filled with people getting on the train
The conductors telling people where to go
You walk to the middle of the platform, looking towards the entrance
You look at your watch
Where is she?
The dark thought comes back
Suddenly you feel a tap on your shoulders
You turn around, it’s her
“Thought I wasn’t coming! Come on let’s go!”
She grabs your hand and leads you onto the train
She brings you to her seat and you both sit-down
Holding each other’s hand and her head on your shoulder
You plan your future as the train pulls away
The greatest love story has begun
