The Person Opposite on the Train

You know we'll wed
And live 'til we're dead
Because you caught my eye
On the 16.42 from Vauxhall.
You know that one day
We'll tell our friends about me
Just making it through a closing door
To the carriage,
Where you'd been waiting
For me,
All of your life.
Each night we will thank
The 8.3% of South West Trains that are delayed,
Then cuddle.

Except I didn't get through
The closing doors
Because as I ran up the stairs,
Towards you
My love
Who I never knew,
My wife called.
