Oh, the way those subway cars rattle beneath me,
Lulls me into a trance like slumber.
I hear the exchanges of broken English and baby cries all around me,
But I shut my eyes and will them away.
For now I am no one
Just a face in the crowd, another commute.
But when those doors slither open
And I tread out onto the platform
I am yours.
I travel this passage many times
Just to see your glowing face in my eyes.
Because I am so far in love with you
I would ride that rickety old subway for hours,
Just to catch a glimpse of that well toned, olive skinned body
And that chiseled, handsome face,
Even if only for a moment.
Because even after my heart had been broken, derailed,
So many times before
This time is different.
I have fallen head over heels, summer saluting out of control,
In love with you all over again.
And every time my eyes fall on that smile
So full of love, and affection, and heart throbbing passion
I start tumbling again.
So I ride the F train
To see my sweetheart
And that ride is never as sweet on the way back.
