Run-A-Way Love Train

i was walking down the tracks one night, it was dark -no moon above. i was just trying to make it home, wasn't thinking of falling in love. i looked into the distance, i saw a bridge so long and narrow. i thought about not going there-a different way to sparrow. my feet kept moving forward, down the tracks that led me home. my ears did not hear it yet, that distant rumble and moan. as i entered there onto the bridge too far for me to turn, i felt the ground beneath me quake, my stomach starts to burn. i then could hear the whistle, screaming into the night. my mind was filled with painful thoughts,my heart was filled with fright. i knew that it was coming, barreling down the tracks. i knew that i had gone too far to try to make it back my feet picked up the pace, but running? do i dare? i can't see where i'm going and i know no body there. faster and faster my feet went to try to beat this train. no where to jump, no where to hide, i'm so afraid of the pain. i turned to look behind me, the light i now could see, i ran faster and faster, with this thing coming after me as i lie there between the tracks, on that bridge- on the ground, i opened my eyes to see your face and your deep set eyes of brown. and all at once it hit me this train is live so true. i went and fell in love my dear, so now what do i do? i'm not sure what will happen next, but this one thing i know. if you are ever really mine, I'll ever let you go. i would treat you like the man you are and give you all my heart. i'd make you proud and happy, never wanting us to part. I'll leave you with this one last thought...how wonderful could be, a long and lasting union, just between you and me...

Really enjoyed your narrative approach, Kelly. We find love when we least expect it. If you have found this type of love, I hope it lasts forever. Congratulations on your success in John Freemans's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn

Smile, *^_^* The love train, jetting down the tracks; grab your suit case and, don't look back; "All Aboard &, 'Tickets Please.'" = So, was it a dream? Did your beauty actually get hit by that train or was it, beautiful love which rolled your lovely, way?? And yes, long lasting as within ever and forevers, beyond a day. == "Sweet Poe &, I Love 'The Enchanting Aura of, Midnight Trains.'" === love, jasper
