Lovers

He came out of the blue

out of nowhere

just emerged from thin air

but boy!

he was standing too near

As the train moved 

with the rhythm of our hearts

our palms brushed past each other

a moment too fleeting 

to last forever

I could catch his visage 

from the corners of my eye

and he was trying to steal my 

smiles

but was being coy

the trail rattled and 

we bumped into each other

a moment too soft

a moment too subtle

It was a form of connection we had 

from there on

where he knew exactly to give me space

whenever I faltered

from there on

and suddenly 

the train stopped with a thump

announcing the arrival of his station

and I could the feel 

world’s shortest love story

come to an end

all of a sudden.

This post is in response to the daily prompt

Suddenly
