Man Seeing Girlfriend Off at Japan Train Station 日本の鉄道駅の眺め (ガールフレンドを見て男性が電車の中で残します。)


This guy saw his girlfriend to the train. She gave a pat on the base his back before she got on the train. Clearly there is love. Yet they never kissed. If they were Caucasians, they would kiss horridly in public. Not in Japan.

The train captain was standing some distance away, waiting for the last passengers. They were the last.

It seems to be a regular "boyfriend-seeing-girlfriend-to-the-train" scene. But it does not seem so. Could be she is leaving for some place. He stood outside & kept talking to her while she stood at the train door.

When the train captain looked out the window & waved for him to stand clear, he reverently stepped back, back & back all the way to the pillar. Well beyond the yellow line & looked down at the floor.

As the train started moving off, he waved & even leaped with a leg out.  He kept waving even as the train went out of sight.

Even when the train was gone, he stood there. Strange.  Is he crazy?

He stands there looking reluctant, despondent. Then he turns & starts walking towards the camera direction, his face looking as if not knowing what to do. As if he should do something.

He's quite a tall man. Well, I wonder if he really loves her that much.
