From my old blog

I saw a couple sitting on the train station today, on the platform opposite me. She sat with her back to the wall, he sat at right angles to her, one leg underneath her knees, the other over her ankles. Together they sat there, completely engrossed in each other. He leant towards her, talking, laughing, trying to kiss her. She laughed and flirted closer to his lips then pulled back laughing more, talking, he leant in closer to her then sat back laughing as well. She leant into him then, seeking a kiss, he teased her in return, leaning away, hands planted behind him supporting him as he swayed out of reach of her lips, smiling and shaking his head. Shd said something and he threw his head back laughing, then relented, kissing her firmly on the mouth, a quick kiss that looked full of joy, happiness and the thrill of new love. They sat together, twined around each other, close and intimate, holding hands, talking, laughing, smiling. I couldn't hear anything they were saying, and as I watched them I stopped hearing everything else. For 3 minutes as I waited for my train I was lost in their world, transported by their complete unawareness of anything other than each other, remembering a time when I knew that feeling, that bubbling contentment and happiness, being lost in a moment so sweet and pure that just for that little while nothing else in the world matters. Thier train arrived first, cutting between me and them and catching me by surprise, bringing with it the rushing back of sound and movement around me, the spell of the happy couple broken. I searched for them through the windows of the train, watched them walk along the carriage holding hands and sit in the last seat, she next to the window, he sitting close against her, side on, his eyes never seemed to leave her. As the train started to pull out I saw them clearer, her hand was on his neck, their foreheads nearly touching as they smiled and whispered together... and then they were gone. The other carriages of their train blinked slowly past to reveal an empty platform. My train came not long after and I stepped back into the business and routine of my life.
