We hadden oogcontact in de trein
vanaf station Maastricht
naar station Amsterdam Centraal.
Op station Amsterdam Amstel verloren we elkaar uit het oog.
"Hi beautiful,
you got out at Amstel at 1941, tuesday 17th sept
I picked up your NS card that slipped out of your pocket. you lost it and after you just got out at Amstel station, I - a true train warrior - returned it to you.
Yet I forgot to repay your grateful smile and to offer you something in return, a drink , a decent chat, failing to improvise (being on my way to an appointment).
same time, same place next week? you drop you card, I pick it up rushing after you?
X
Tom"
