Last night on the subway, I saw a couple in their twenties. She was reading “What To Expect When You’re Expecting,” and under the hem of her white polo shirt you could see that long, purplish seam that pregnant women get below their navels. Her acneic boyfriend was dozing next to her, and they were holding hands. For some reason, I found the scene inexplicably touching.

Subways are a haven for touching and disturbing sites but most of all a picture window into humanity.. Which is why I love riding subways in strange city’s..

Because they are both vulnerable and yet they seem to be completely there for each other.

I find that story extremely romantic!! What a love story!@ Most people WISH for love like that. Even when asleep, they still wanted to be in-touch by skin. THAT is a special couple and you were lucky to witness it…..they will probably be together forever.
