♡; The passenger in the train.

 We were seated across eachother on the moving train. You were reading a book, probably half of all it's pages in and you looked so focused while reading. The convoy is empty, aside from you and I. The emptiness is strange because it's an early afternoon in the middle of summer. It was quietness accompanied by the train wheels moving along the rails. I shifted my view to the landscapes, we were surrounded by sky-piercing mountains and towering trees. The sun isn't particularly very bright, but it was bright enough to make some light pass through the leaves. It casted some shadows on the train floor, occasionally disappearing when we passed by a very thick line of trees. I leaned my head on the window, it was very peaceful. I then directed my view towards you, this time you weren't reading your book, but you were listening to your MP3 player. You were looking outside the window with a tiresome expression. It was quiet, of course. But this time the music from your MP3 player was leaking through your earphones. "And if a double-decker bus crashes into us. To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us. To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine. There is a light that never goes out. There is a light that never goes out.". Suddenly, you looked over to me with a slightly panicked expression. "I'm sorry, was my music too loud?" you asked. "Yes, not that I mind though" I replied. A sigh left your lips and you looked at me again. "So, you like The Smiths, no?" you sheepishly ask, I grinned "I do". You removed your earphones and tucked it away in your pocket. "So what's that book you're reading?" I curiously asked. "Oh this?" you grabbed the book and handed it out to me, "as the title says, it's 'The fine print' by Lauren Asher" I took the book and started skimming through it, they were annotated in neutral colored highlighters. I kept skimming until I came across an annotated line that caught my attention. It read "You.Are.The.Most.Lovely.Woman.To.Me". I then flipped the page to look for more highlighted parts, only to find out it stopped there. "It looks like a nice book" I muttered and I looked up to you to return to the book. You let out an 'Mhm' and grabbed the book from me. "So, where are you going?" you stood up and sat right next to me, "oh, you know just the country-side. Living in the city is very tiring.". Your eyes showed a glint of curiosity, "is that so? Well, we're on the same boat right now" you chuckle. "Wanna go together?" you piped up, "we barely know eachother!" I laugh. "We have all day to get to know eachother" and you were right. "Sounds like a great idea" I smiled and everything started slipping away in a moment of time.
