those memories linger on

I gazed out of the window as service 96 trundled the world by.

I walked down the slippery red brick road by LT13.

I hugged you as tightly as possible in the hope that I would be able to recall the sensation of hugging you when i miss you.

I drove down the dark CTE as I tingled with the excitement of being able to see you again.

I sat in my kitchen for a quick dinner alone.

I heard your affectionate laughter over the phone. It was really beautiful to my ears and made me complete.

I smelled the air in the morning and it reminded me of my childhood.

I slept on the train that took me back home from school.

And yet amongst the cacophany of these memories, I always pause for a moment or two to wonder...

Wondering how you are over at your side.
