She sees him at the station As she's waiting for her train Feeling uncomfortable in his presence But how she'd love to know his name So many times she has fantasised Of being enveloped within his arms In front of a roaring fireplace So easily surrendering to his charms But most likely he would have a girlfriend Anyway she'd never stand a chance As she peers over her magazine And steals just one more glance The stationmaster makes an announcement That the next train will be delayed Throwing commuters into chaos For many appointments won't be made But to her it makes no difference For nobody waits for her at home So many lonely nights she's encountered Just hoping that someone might phone So who is this handsome stranger? Will I have the chance to make him mine? Then a voice suddenly startles her "Excuse me, do you have the time?" Her knees all at once turn to jelly And she can hardly utter a word She feels so giddy and flustered So sure her heartbeat can be heard The sight of him standing before her Makes her heart feel so alive As she finally answers his question "It's almost five thirty five" The ice has now been broken As he smiles and walks away Her gaze lingers in his direction There were so many things she wanted to say Suetang |

  (smiles) Awwwwwww, I hope then she rushed over to the man and asked to have a snack with her and they met, growing closer to one another in love! (kiss on cheek) This is a gorgeous vision of true love, sweet friend, it is always so magical how it can accidently come to us anywhere, whenever! We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Nicely told... so often in real life we let the opportunities pass us by, just as in this poem... I enjoyed! |

I loved this poem!! I used to be shy like that and I missed out on a lot of opportunities, so now I speak up when I see something I like! |

Once...when I was quite young, I had just such an experience..where ever I went, she was there...it was love at first sight but I too was shy, how could I dare to think she might be interested in me??? It turned out that she was there because she knew I would be there..we have been married for 26 years now!!!! Wonderful memories you have awakened Sue!!!Beautiful poem!!!! |
