Eleventh hour of the day

The times I missed you….oh, not for the distance but indeed for the diversity in feelings, the moments I missed you are exactly these minutes of waiting and anguish and of terrible lucidity while waiting for a train in Santa Maria Novella Station at 2.35 am. But the instances I missed you, oh, not for the distance, but for this diversity in views are my strained eyes that almost do not see anymore.
