This is the in thing for me at the moment, since starting my new job in the city. I am getting in to the routine of being at the station for a specific time, in order to catch the tube at the same time as the lady with the pink hair and the man with the green rucksack! these people are there as normality to me, a reference to knowing I am on time. So the journey to work really isn't that interesting to be honest! Its just people reading the Metro and sipping take away coffees and tea's. This morning I ventured out of the office at peak time 8:55am....... wow its like a surreal experience. A nonstop stream of people, jumping off the walking bus at their varied stops. Business women who clearly wear 9inch heels all day, showing off their trainers and north face jackets!
The way home now is another story!
Get on train at 2:35pm London Bridge. Head through all the stops and arrive at Dollis Hill at approx. 3.05pm, unless the tube decided to stop mid tunnel (and scaring the life out of me thinking were stuck). I then start the 1.3 Mile walk, all up hill through a park to home. Monday was a killer being the first day and all, the second day wasn't as bad and yesterday I diverted to Oxford Street for a visit to Primark before heading home and being collected by my wonderful partner in the car :).
Now Monday and Tuesday and again today I noticed 2 teenagers sitting in the park on the bench, clearly boyfriend and girlfriend, but everyday the boy brings the girl a present Monday was flowers, Tuesday chocolates and today something that was wrapped in colourful paper! Now I may be jumping to conclusions, but where they sit is behind the track too far to see from the top of the hill and only really noticeable because I people watch and the route I take isn't very busy. I believe they are hiding their romance from public eye. They are tentative towards each other, but very on edge. Now I don't think by how jumpy they are that they are supposed to be together, the girl wears a headscarf and the boy is clearly not the same religion. He is so into her, they sit cuddling, I wondered today how long they sit there?. Now today is not the nicest of days, the wind is blowing and its raining, but they are still sat there regardless, the boy was holding the umbrella over her. I clearly don't stop, but it makes me smile that 2 people are so into each other and then sad because they really like each other yet cant show the world!
The sweetest thing of all is that the boy brings her a present every time I see them. If she is hiding the relationship, how does she explain the gifts?
Is this the only time they see each other? How long has it been going on......? I am genuinely interested! It must be horrid not to be able to just be teenagers and be happy. Lying and deceiving at such a young age.
I hate to say it but how can two people stay together, when they cant be together? Will the day come where I am walking home and the boy is sat waiting but the girl doesn't show up?
I am glad that I can see young love, that its not dead. I see the spark, yet I also see the unhappiness of hiding :(
I am not going the same way tomorrow because I have other plans, but I hope I see them again!
If this is true love for the unknown 'hiding their love' strangers I sincerely hope they find a way of being together forever.
