Letter to the guy on the train
Hey man
I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable
I wasn't staring because you're weird looking
or because I wanted to get in your pants
not that I'm sure you saw me
while playing games on your phone
You have a really nice face
and I have a sketch book in my bag
and let's be honest
this 2 hour train journey is boring as fuck
so I thought I'd draw you
Portraits aren't really my forte
but I'm pretty happy with the way
my scribbling captured the sleepy
downcast look of your eyes
the bow of your lips
and the fuzziness of your beard
You'll never know the erratic beating
of my heartbeat
as I warred between kindness
and introversion
ripping the sketch from my book
to give it to you
without coming across as creepy
as I said "hey, I got bored
and sketched you
I hope you don't mind"
before I fled back to my seat
and watched your lips
curve into a smile
before you turned back
to your phone
and we continued this
train journey in silence
I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable
I wasn't staring because you're weird looking
or because I wanted to get in your pants
not that I'm sure you saw me
while playing games on your phone
You have a really nice face
and I have a sketch book in my bag
and let's be honest
this 2 hour train journey is boring as fuck
so I thought I'd draw you
Portraits aren't really my forte
but I'm pretty happy with the way
my scribbling captured the sleepy
downcast look of your eyes
the bow of your lips
and the fuzziness of your beard
You'll never know the erratic beating
of my heartbeat
as I warred between kindness
and introversion
ripping the sketch from my book
to give it to you
without coming across as creepy
as I said "hey, I got bored
and sketched you

and watched your lips
curve into a smile
before you turned back
to your phone
and we continued this
