The Train Songs.

I moved from Pakenham where i stayed for a year, to be with someone. It was really good to wake up to somebody and do everything together. So much so that i’ve almost all but forgotten what it used to feel like before her. Don’t get me wrong, i can’t wait to share my life with someone special but the other day i was on the train heading back home, and because Pakenham is so far away, it takes forever to get to my destination. Which is such an opportune time to whip out the old iPod. A year ago, i remember loving every moment i’d get on the train, the scenery, my private thoughts, my music. These days, i may only manage a song or 2. I guess the moral of my story is that, maybe we should always treasure things that belong to us. Things that we may choose to set aside because we think something better has come along. I now fail to see how its better, different yes, but better? Not really. Things that only belong to you are always gonna be yours, so if for example, you get used to someone’s smell, and then when its taken away from you, you really miss it, in fact you might yearn for it even more than you actually want, cause we all do that, we want things that we can’t have, but we don’t really want them… We just think we do. So really, for me, my train songs are always gonna be for me only, i’ve kinda forgotten that, but one of the great things bout having your own ‘Train Songs’ – is that when you come back to them, they’ll always let you back in, in fact they’ve forgotten you were gone. I just received the new John Mayer album as a gift – ” Battle Studies”. Can’t wait……
