Train to Lansdowne

I was on a train to Lansdowne when I saw this lady seated across from me.

"Where are you going?" she asked me.

"I am going to Lansdowne", I said. 

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

She looked outside the window towards the sky and paused for a brief moment before answering, "wherever the road takes me".. still staring into infinity.

It must have been around 6 PM in the evening so it felt oddly comforting even in the presence of strangers.

I looked at her eyes, they were blue, a strange blue that sought something she had once lost.
They were sad.

"What do you seek?" she asked me
"I seek the people I have lost along the way.." I said.

She stared at me as if I had said something wrong, as if she wasn't expecting what I said.

"Everything that is beautiful is short lived and ends.. Perhaps that is the beauty of things, the fact that they are short lived.." she smiled, got up and left.

I watched her until she was there no more and disappeared into oblivion.
