Through the dirty square window. I see you.
As it’s pulling in. Your face. Ghostly, translucent, blurred.
The same as every mid-day Rush hour
At Kings Cross. But still, I’m un-prepared.
The harsh screech of the stop
Drowns out, the scream of my heart
As you step off. Vertical lines and a tight knotted tie
Is what you are.
I can only dream of seeing you
In pants. Bed-head. Morning breath.
As you roll over, push my hair from my face and kiss me.
Before getting ready for work.
But for now, this is enough.
Straight lines. Suitcase. Cologne.
I look hopeful as you walk towards me.
Fresh chip-portion wrapped bouquet of lilies in your stern grip.
Ring on your finger glimmers. I long for its twin.
But you pass me.
And once again, I pretend, you’re not the one I’m waiting for.


The author's comments:
This is about someone (a stalker if you like) who waits daily at Kings Cross station for a man to come off his train from work. She longs for him to return his love to her, although she knows really that he wouldn't even recognise her if she approached her. She's only ever seen him at the station in his work clothes, but desperately wants more. It's an obsession that seemingly, she'll never give up.

It's nice. I wouldn't have thought about the idea.
