In My Dream
I was far too early for the 2.30 train to Shanghai so I thought I would get a cup of coffee and watch the world go by. So I had just sat down when I saw her. She was getting off the Xian to Ningbo train. I knew this woman but I couldn’t remember where from. I rushed across and said, “I’m sorry I know you but I can’t remember your name.” She was a little shocked so she took one step back and said “No, you are mistaken I don’t know you.” And then I remembered where I had met her. I apologized and walked away. I have often wondered what her name was or whether she would’ve loved me like she promised. I guess I will never know unless of course she visits me again.
