Did you have to sit here?

Did you have to sit right here?

When across the way is another chair

Throwing your suitcase above my head

Lips pursed tightly, nothing said

Did you have to sit right here?

Eating hot food without a care

Opening windows on a cold train

Letting in the pouring rain

Did you have to sit right here?

Coughing and sneezing in my air space

Leaning into my intimate zone

Tapping loudly on your mobile phone

Did you have to sit right here?

You are making me nervous,

As your music is too loud

Could I please ask you to turn it down?
