She Is Waiting

It is the afternoon.  She is sitting on her couch watching her favorite show television.  She knows that when the show ends, it is time to go out.  Where?  She turns off the television.  She walks out of her house locking the door.  She takes a walk down the street and makes her way to the train station.  Walks onto the platform and sits down on the first bench she sees.  She sits there waiting, waiting and waiting.  It should happen at any time.  She gets a little impatient, but she still has a few minutes.  She checks the time.  She is hoping that there are no delays.  She just cannot wait.  She hears a sound of what could be a locomotive.  Her phone rings.  She looks at her phone and sees someone important.

“Hello,” she speaks.  “I am here waiting.”

The horn toots.  It is almost here.  She looks down the tracks.  The train is coming.  She is so excited not just to see the train, but she is excited for what the train is bringing to her.  The train pulls up and stops.  People get off, but she is looking for the most important person… her man.  He gets off.  She goes to him, and they embrace.  It is her love brought to her by the train.

Many people ride the train either for vacation or to commute to and from the workplace.  To those who have that someone waiting at the station for your arrival, we would like to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day.  If you are one of those who ride together, we wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day as well.  May you spend your time on the train with the very one that you love, and may your ride be very, very long.
