The Train Home

First I his sandy hair

Then she his pinked cheek

Our eyes met for a blink

Hers toward morning

Mine the afternoon

It was some kin to sadness

We recognized

Face to face with love

So great it could crush the heart

Wow! This is beautiful.

Reminds me of a story by Julio Cortazar, of a man who falls in love with the reflection of a woman on the subway in Paris. Wow. Thank you.
