Boarding the train to london, you head to your booth and take a seat as you place your stuff down next to you. All of a sudden someone knocks on the booth door and asks if they may sit with you, you accept knowing you had no reason to decline and would enjoy the company. Over the next few hours you both get to know each-other. Laughing and giggling, sharing your secrets and stories, how could you tell someone you've never met so much about yourself? It had felt like you'd known each-other forever yet it had only been a few hours. Nobody you had ever met before understood you so well..it was a strange feeling really. You slowly began to realize this strange feeling was love, but how? You had only just met almost 3 hours ago it was almost unreal. The train meets its stop and you both began to collect your things as everyone else began exiting the train. He exits the booth before you, so you quickly gather your things. You run outside hoping to catch him before he leaves the station just to see him meet with his lover outside the train. Standing outside the train you realize everything you had just experienced was just a mere friendly encounter, nothing more. You decide it's best to forget what had just happened and move on with your life.

Perhaps the reality was that they were the right person...but it was simply just the wrong time.
