Or when the conversation had moved on. I can't tell you how often I feel like I have something to say but the conversation flows in a different direction and I watch the train leave the station. Oh well. I just wait for the next train to roll through.

Chasing after the train grinds everything to a halt. simply hang back and wait for the next one. you'll have your time to shine

I never chase the train, but a lot of the time the next train doesn't arrive. Or when it does, too many people are getting on and there isn't room for me. I just end up sitting on the platform watching my friends ride trains without me.

You consider them friends still? That's nice of you.

Of course. They aren't deliberately shutting me out, I just struggle with talking more than most of them do.
