Sailing In The Same Boat

It was middle of the night, the train was asleep. All but the two! He played her laughter in his head again; it was like delicate bangles clinking. It belonged to a beautiful woman; a beautiful person. He was smitten, without even seeing her. She was to study at the university, he heard her say; just like him. Sitting back to back in adjoining compartments...
Two hearts; beating in the same rhythm!
Two minds; dreaming the same dream!
Two souls; separated by but a thin partition of the train compartment!
He switched off the lights, she did too. He looked forward to seeing that beautiful laughter soon.
