We boarded the railcar

Just the two of us

Embarking...

On a new adventure

In love

Riding together

With each stop

A new experience

Visiting places

Near and far

Each time...

Holding hands

Smiling

Laughing

And sometimes weeping

Traveling together

Is so full of sweetness

And sorrow

We had no idea

How long the ride would last

Until one day

My traveling angel

Wasn't feeling up for the ride

In mind

Body

And spirit

She had had enough

I wasn't ready

So many more stops to go

But it wasn't up to her

As the rail car slowed to a stop

We held hands

Looked into each other's eyes

And knew that our journey

Was coming to an end

She released my hand

Rose...

Looked back at me

One more time

And exited the door

After that...

She was no more

I am on the train now

Only one

Of two passengers

Heartbroken

Feeling lost

Still very much

In love

On a train

Destination unknown
