Train Ride

This is a poem I found a while back and for some reason I love it:)

I’ve thought about you so much

If only you knew…

When I was a little girl

I’d spend hours at my bedroom window

looking down at people in the street

and to me, it seemed that they were all couples.

Then my mother would come in and tell me

that I couldn’t spend my life dreaming

with my head in the clouds all the time

that I had to wake up to life.

The funny thing was my mother had ended up pregnant with me

and then spent all her life waiting 

for my father to suddenly appear

to meet her after work

like in an Officer and a Gentleman

You know something?

I’ve been writing you poems all my life.

Because long before you appeared,

I knew you were there.

I’d picture you walking down the street turning corners

I’d even get jealous, 

imagining you surrounded by beautiful blonde girls

I’d get so mad

But really, I was jealous

Because they’d already come into your life

and I hadn’t.

Do you know what I would do?

I’d close my eyes

and wish with all my heart

that you’d keep going

without stopping at any station

to be by my side as fast as you could

I’ve been waiting for you all my life

and at last you’ve arrived.

I couldn’t be any happier.

I love you from the bottom of my heart
