Leaving on a jet plane

This evening I looked out my livingroom window, and saw a plane crossing my night sky, its bright lights so pretty in the dark.

Someone on that plane is glad to be going home after a business trip.
Someone on that plane is going home to a loveless marriage.
Someone on that plane is leaving on a well earned vacation.
Someone on that plane is going to a funeral that is breaking their heart.
Someone on that plane is terrified of flying.
Someone on that plane is making a duty visit to their family.
Someone on that plane is reading a book they have looked forward to.
Someone on that plane is trying to get their baby to stop crying.
Someone on that plane is heartbroken that this trip didn't go as planned.
Someone on that plane is asleep.
Someone on that plane is getting shitfaced.
Someone on that plane is worried about making their connecting flight.
Someone on that plane needs to pee.
Someone on that plane feels free.


Everybody has a story that would break your heart.
