Two heads together on a west bound train
Storm clouds ahead promise heavy rain
Woolly hats and padded coats keeping out the cold
Eyes closed and lifeless as sleep taken hold
Fingers entwined in warmed gloved hands
Dreaming of shared times in far off lands
Rocking and rolling on the sodden rails
Landscape changes to the mountains of Wales
Castles; beaches; piers and Celtic signs
Cars racing on adjacent roads ignoring speeding fines
Reaching their destination, the lovers are awoken
Nervous smiles and exchanged glances, no words are spoken
The platform beckons, they share a final embrace
They tenderly kiss, he walks away, now a tear on her face
Gently weeping, her face contorted with pain
She may or may not ever see him again
