Real Answers Unknown

Rush hour time,hustle bustle all around
In the moonlight company of stars,
she was afraid of travelling alone
worried about reaching home safely
though she had company it was like doing favour
compelled as companion was her friend.
they hardly spoke as both had tiring day
train picked speed,
trees racing against us,
cold breeze kissing our faces
both going ahead towards respective homes
later slowly it became crowded
finally my station came, i waved at her and she moved along the train
was a hectic day i must say, as i walk down..
I see him waiting for me...
he said he saw me boarding the same train but his station was far ahead...
he told he got down to see whether i got down safely or no..
he knew i was first time train traveller...
oh... i never expected it...
i knew that wasn't true
loss of words as our eye met,
felt that time should stand still,
no longer afraid to reach home late
wanted him to be my companion 
i questioned him why did u get down?
got a silly answer but still asked again
was waiting to hear the real answer...
but he being obstinate refused to say anything
i felt something different, knew it was mutual... his eyes conveyed to me 
then came the next train, i asked again he smiled, waving me and boarded the train
leaving me misty eyed i too waved back
those minutes spend were too short and wanted those to last 
gone with those beautiful memories
i moved ahead for home 
i called her my friend who was with me, told her all
she said u know the answer
may be i know just wanna listen from him..  the real anwers known...unknown
