Missed Connection - Metro 5 Line

You were sitting at the bank of seats next to us, you had on a pleated skirt with a bag on your lap. I didn't really notice what you were wearing too much, whenever I looked over our eyes met. You had brown hair and sharp facial features with beautiful lines. You smiled at me right after my friends and I got on the train. I smiled back. I'm sorry those two guys were trying to get your number or something, I gave you a look after, we both realized they were creeps.

You seemed sweet, and you were an absolutely beautiful. In no way did you seem aggressive , just kind, and when I looked back at you I tried to match your warmth. I heard you speaking French, but could tell you were listening to me talk in English as well.

I was in a stripped shirt, with a blue jacket and black and red rimmed glasses. I had a deck of cards and I was shuffling, teaching my friends a game and talking non-stop. I was in a wonderful mood. You made it bettter.

My friend also noticed us noticing each other, and slyly tried to give me a look about it without you seeing. When we had to get off the train I regretted it, wishing I had talked to you. I let my friends exit first.

"Au revoir," I said.

"Au revoir," you said with a smile.

Then you stopped me by gently grasping my arm and we gave each other another smile. I stepped off the train to join my two friends. As I walked down the platform, I waited for the last car to pass, and there you were.

And we both waved goodbye.
