A poem written for a young couple I saw on the train who were obviously madly in love
They stand on the platform, bodies moving as one
Intricate clockwork of human flesh
He wrapped about her like a human cloak
She melting into him as they swing into the train
and down into a seat, without parting one inch of flesh from one another
He breathes into her neck and she smiles up whispering, "What you going to do later?"
He sighs down at her as their fingers fold together, "Nothin'. Chill."
"Yeah, me too."  The words are not words but code for their deep love
That is for real, for sure, forever
They cannot bear to part, sharing every breath and heart beat as the train rattles on
And smiles and sighs pass from person to person who watch them and remember
That first love, that special love that grips the soul and takes control
Making every moment bliss and heartbreak, a rollercoaster that rises and hurtles down
into nothingness
That lasts for eternity and is over in a heartbeat
The passengers watch them both, her head curled into his chest, his hand stroking her hair
Their smiles so achingly full of joy and certainty that they will be together for all of time
They will never part
For real, for sure, forever
