Strangers on a Train

We were strangers on a train

I fell in love, with your brain

The times cross word you always solved

Never anyone else involved

I talked to you only when

You finally put down your pen

And fold your paper really neatly

Finally, you had time to greet me.

‘Hello,’ was all I could muster

‘You’re married’ my heart was a flutter

‘I’m divorced!’ I looked down at my ring

‘Just haven’t taken off the bling’

Just before she replied

The conductor’s voice amplified

Told us that ‘the line was blocked

And until cleared the train was stopped!’

‘Twice this week the trains been late

Let us think of it as our first date’

I said to the blond bombshell

She said nothing. Silence fell.

‘It's not that I’m not interested

It’s just your not my type to bed

For I am gay without a doubt

Something I don’t tend to shout

‘I had no idea, I’m so sorry’

‘Not many do, please don’t worry!’

The train suddenly started moving

Not soon enough my face was proving

We were once strangers on a train

Out of the blue a friendship became.
