Surprise

With a heavy heart
she boarded the flight

Leaving for home did not fill her with delight

Love’s journey had come to an end

She sat forlorn with her head bent

Blinking back tears that fought for release

A deep voice asked if she would vacate the seat please

She turned to curtly tell him off

Her eyes widened, she almost fell off

Smothering a yelp of surprise

She smiled through tear filled eyes.
