Train stations are interesting places. People come and go in them. Visiting places and leaving places.
I had the unfortunante advantage of experincing the latter. After five and a half months I had to watch my girlfriend get on a train and leave Aberdeen for the last time. I think this may have been the hardest thing I have ever done. I have done some very hard things in my life, leaving home for uni was quite hard, sometimes going to school was quite hard, my previous job was horible and gonig to work was very hard, but nothing prepared me for watching a train with the woman I love pull away from Aberdeen station… Though it still din’t really sink in at first. It wasn’t until 5:40 this evening when her plane was due to take off. Even in London she was still in the country.
Now she isn’t.
Wow, that was easy to say. Hard to grasp though.
It’s funny we were talking yesterday. When we first started going out, five and a half months seemed like such a short time. but once it was over and looking back it is actually a long time. And its still going! Things are slightly different now.
I think I’ve had my fill of train stations for a while…
