Melodies in the Rain: A Train Journey of Absent Lovers

Updated: Aug 29, 2023


On a tranquil and frigid night, the world sleeps, yet here I am, the solitary traveler awake aboard a gently swaying train. Through the window, the moon graces the landscape with its silver glow, casting a serene aura over the scenes unfolding beyond.


As the train’s rhythmic journey carries me forward, my gaze is irresistibly drawn to the glass, where my breath forms misty patterns against the cold. The train’s motion becomes a lullaby for my thoughts, guiding me into a realm of introspection. With every passing moment, the scenery transforms, revealing fields and hills illuminated by the moon’s delicate radiance.



But amid this ethereal spectacle, a bittersweet ache tugs at my heart. The silence of the night amplifies the memories that flood my mind, her absence felt keenly. Each passing mile deepens the yearning within, and my eyes remain fixed on the moonlit world outside, a mirror to the longing within.


Lost in reverie, a melody spills into my ears from my headphones, a familiar tune that seems to mirror my emotions. Each note weaves a delicate thread between the music and my thoughts, as if the melody itself understands the depth of my feelings.



The rain begins to drizzle, a gentle cadence upon the train’s windows. The soothing pitter-patter of raindrops creates a symphony that merges seamlessly with the melody in my ears. The world outside blurs, the raindrop-streaked window becoming a canvas for my own emotions, mirroring the mingling of the melody and the drizzle.


The moon, a silent witness to love’s story, seems to understand the depth of my feelings. Its glow becomes a conduit between us, a bridge uniting our separate worlds. I can almost imagine her looking at the same moon, our thoughts converging beneath its tranquil light.



In this solitary reverie, the train’s rhythm becomes my companion, a reminder that life continues its journey, even in moments of solitude. As the night unfurls, I seek solace in the moon’s embrace, hoping she, too, feels the pull of shared memories.


The train moves onward, the moon remains our constant, and as the night marches on, the certainty of her absence is softened by the thought that we both yearn beneath the same moon. The moon, like our love, endures, casting its glow upon the world we both inhabit, yet momentarily apart.



In the hush of the night, on this calm and cold night, I find myself aboard a train, missing her with every beat of my heart, as the moon above silently bears witness to our love.
