She boards the train It's her daily routine She has done this trip Could do it in her sleep Today feels no different Just another trip to the city But from the corner of her eyes She sees a man sitting
She looks up And without warning Her heart skips a beat There's a stranger Instantly she's aware of him In the opposite seat
He looks disheveled He looks world class And the only thing he has in his possession is his boarding pass
He is looking out the window And playing with a rip in his jacket And she's unsure how the other passengers can't hear her heart Making a god awful racket
He doesn't look at her Doesn't no she exists she stares the whole time Her eyes can only see him
He looks like he's from another era A different part of the world And his soft features have a charm And her head is in swirls
She has missed her stop Most Of the passengers dispersed She doesn't even think about being late for work
She is entranced and obsessed She's spell bound and possessed The strangest feeling On board this morning train She doesn't even notice that outside it's begun to rain
The train reached the last station The drivers voice chimes through the speaker The trains final destination And it has reached it
She stumbles out of her chair Fixes her hair She's out of her element But doesn't really care
She opens her lips Her eyes on his He faces her Theirs confusion on his
She quietly whispers "Sir this is the last stop " And he looks pleased with himself when he replies " well miss" " best you be getting off"
As heavy as her feet are She turns them away And just when she starts to leave He said "miss excuse me " "what did you say ?"
"I'm sorry sir for the rudeness But I was telling you the train has terminated " He looked at her puzzled And said "I'm sorry could I have a minute "
Sure " she stood uncomfortable Yet happy for the time Her head and heart beat were in a rapid decline
He raised his chin And asked Miss can you see me ?
She said Sure I can I can't stop looking
He looks confused But lightly amused He leans casually against the train post
He whispers with his beautiful lips She leans in closer to listen
" miss .... But I am a ghost "
I've been on this train for many years I died in this very seat The man that killed me Was where you sat Directly opposite me "
Feeling light headed She fell from her feet And landed into his arms
He said no one had ever seen me Or spoken to me And I never take notice anymore
I can't believe I missed it When someone so beautiful entered through the train doors
But you must go now And he kissed her lips The trains terminated I'm awful sorry sweet miss
Collecting herself she walked to the doors And watched them as they slowly close He watched her in amazement Through the rain on the window
She looked at the train number It was number 7'11
She thought how ironic since theirs a soul on it That hasn't quite made it to heaven
She searched for that train every single day And when she finally found it He wasn't there He was watching from a distance He just couldn't resist her
He knew she was searching Felt her sadness in the air
But he also knew to her it wouldn't be fair
She caught that same train Every single day Hoping for one more glimpse But she knew it was never to be And so did he As ghosts love just doesn't exist x
