Search For Love Can Be Futile

Robert Johnson followed his girl to the train station carrying her suitcase for her, and when the train arrived, he looked her in the eye.  They started kissing as the train approached and they both looked at the flashing blue light on the front of the train.  Robert told his girl how much he loved her, just before the train left the station without her on it.  They both watched the red blinking light attached to the lower end of the last coach and Robert said, “Whoa, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind.”  He tried so hard to make her a part of his life, but since she is leaving, all of his love is in vain.  With the train gone, she decided to walk across the cobblestone road where she waited for the bus.  When she abandoned him, he was left with this feeling of desolate love, as chronic emptiness and loneliness filled his heart.
