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

M'
No
Sarah

M'

M'

Sarah

I regret it now, I shouldn't do that

twice a month, should be fair enough, don't you think

I use to wear glasses myself, but I don't anymore

M'
THANK YOU, I WILL NOT HAVE A SOFT DRINK
Sarah
Oh....I see .....maybe a hot drink
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

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

mmm.....okay.....we can go to the other side .
M'

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
