Fireworks

Celebrating new year has always been indifferent for her,
spending nights sleeping across midnight,
waking up and watching fireworks outside her window is a norm.
She thought that for this year, it would be the same thing all over again,
but she was wrong.

He came up to her cabin,
offered her a dinner at the next station,
and she agreed to it.
Went with him for a dinner that she had longed for quite some time, 
and even went doing unplanned things for the night while waiting,
and for the first time, 
she actually stayed awake for the countdown,
and for the first time,
she was counting down to a new year with someone.

And there, they were,
chasing after fireworks,
watching fireworks here and there in awe,
something that she never dreamt that she could do it,
and for the first time,
she felt so warm inside,
something that she has never felt for a long time.

And with the new year here,
she hoped that one day,
she could be off from the train not only for a while,
but permanent,
and she could feel those sparks again,
like the beauty of the fireworks that they watched together in awe.
