      Sarah with an H


      We meet in the train, I was sitting quietly in the train
      heading home for my summer vacation. Once upon time
      the seat next to me was empty, but that didn't last for long
      all a sudden

      Sarah
      is this seat taken

      M'
      No

      Sarah

      M'

      Sarah
      you must be going home, like me
      you see, I didn't go home for a long time
      I regret it now, I shouldn't do that
      next year I will try to go at least every other week
      twice a month, should be fair enough, don't you think
      M'
      yes, fair enough

      Sarah

      M'

      the capital area, I loved that house, it was

      M'
      THANK YOU, I WILL NOT HAVE A SOFT DRINK

      Sarah

      M'
      I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU
      DO YOU HEAR ME, I'M NOT TIRED
      AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING OUTSIDE
      ND I DON'T WANT TO DRINK OR EAT ANYTHING
      ALL I WANT IS A PEACE OF MIND
      IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR

      Sarah
      okay .....I will not have anything also
      maybe you will change your mind later
      then we can have a drink together

      M'
      I will not change my mind ...but I will change my seat

      Sarah
      yes.....good idea, I don't like it in here also
      mmm.....okay.....we can go to the other side .

      M'
      WE ....WE ....OH MY GOD


      The journey to my home town, is four hours by train
      but, that particular trip, it took no time
      I didn't even finish one page, and I was home already
      thanks ....to Sarah
      though, I arrived home with a headache, but I was happy
      there was something about her, that brought hapiness
      and joy to my soul

      thanks
