I only see him 5 minutes a day-Total.
He gets on & off at the train terminal across from me.
I don't know where he's going, where he comes from, what he does, what he likes.
I don't even know his name.
But I find that day by day, I learn something...

So they're back together.
I unclip the heart plushie keychain and stuff it in my backpack.
Why can't someone love me back?
⇨ MOM: Be careful on your way home! Try not to come home so late! There is attacker on streets. LOVE YOU!
Well, at least I'll always have my mother's love.
I decide not to stare at train boy anymore.
There's no more reason to keep learning about him, to keep dreaming about him, and to keep hoping about him.
"Lover's quarrel?" The lady next to me says.
I turn to her, making sure it was me she was talking to.
"Excuse me?"
She laughs. "Sorry, It's none of my business. I just couldnt help but notice you and your boyfriend across the platform over there seemed a little down."
Breaking my own rule, I look over across the platform.
Train boy was staring at me, but the minute I looked at him he hid behind his fringe.
My eyes can't help but soak him in. I notice something tucked under his long sleeve shirt. It looks like a white band. It was hard to make out, but I assume his girlfriend might have given him her white bracelet since his own broke.
The lady leans in. "He kept looking at you all this time. I think he really cares that you are okay waiting for the train. Whatever fight that you to had, I think you guys could get over it."
"How do you know?" I Softly ask.
"Taking the same train every morning... really makes you learn more about people then you probably should." She laughs.
