終電

終電に乗り遅れてしまいました。

And so I found myself on a platform late at night in a strange city all alone. I could see the lights and the motions of the lights and so I knew that people were going about their lives. And this made me feel less lonely but also terribly lonely. 

People that I knew were out there somewhere. Sleeping beside a warm body. 

I was very tired. I was not very merry. 

But there’s always another train, I told myself. You just have to wait. Sometimes for a very long time. 

You just have to survive. Sometimes for a very long time.
