To an unknown person (on a train to Prague)

He stood on the platform
Raised his arm, waved good-bye
and watched your train depart
Love filled his face
Tears magnified his eyes
He hesitated, turned and walked away
He's going to miss you

I see you share one of your mother's hobbies - watching people in airports and train stations, and imagining the story behind the old man with the flowers waiting for the plane, or wondering about the young man who waves goodbye with tears in his eyes. I like this one a lot.
