Lady On A Train Poem by Terry Donovan

I looked up from my paper
For I'm sure I felt her stare,
Our eyes met and they locked and
Something mystic filled the air.

I couldn't turn my gaze away,
But didn't feel the need.
I felt she didn't want me to.
Here eyes said she agreed.

Both rooted to that moment,
Once two strangers, now as one,
Two futures and two histories
At once rolled into one.

And in that railway carriage
Something happened to my heart.
Something happened to my system.
My perspective fell apart.

I knew she, too, was going through
The very same routine.
I read her eyes and she read mine.
We both read in between.

Then that new world I'd entered in
Was blown to bits because
Her train pulled out the station
And mine stayed where it was.

Now, til I die I'll wonder why
Such depth of feeling grew
To no avail and left no trail.
I love her. I love who?

And in my mind no doubt I find.
She feels the same as well.
Will we meet again in heaven?
If we don't, I'll go to hell.
