Against the green

On a toy train, I skipped away

Curves and bends down the way.

It's a steep climb

There - you see the town in the valley

And just before that,

The train tracks you left behind

Running together.

Always together.

Reminding me of his take

On life. On love.

Right then I peep out

Of my toy train's

Toy window.

Into the sunlight.

An inch further.

Another inch further away.

And just then

His smile illuminates

The door he's standing at.

I'm a long way from home

And it's going to

Be a longer journey back.
