Comparison

This is a train of couples right now. A bit beyond rush hour it feels as though everyone has paired off, and I am here the vulgar spectator.

So I compare who may have the best relationship. Is it the couple making out, obviously in the throes of a brand new relationship? Is it the couple probably in year five when it starts to get challenging.. Sitting next to each other; he is texting and she is listening to her iPod I wouldn't know they are together if her purse wasn't on his lap as she reached for something in her backpack. He seemed unphased by it but couldn't be bothered.

I think the most telling one - the one that I am jealous most of - is the old couple sitting together, they are holding hands and she is leaning towards him slightly. Every now and then they exchange looks and smile. I know they are speaking through their fingers.
