THE PAIN OF RANDOM MEMORIES

The intense speed of the train forced him to taste buried memories at the tip of the tongue. It was strange how sudden moments and random, mundane things just brought him back to a time where things seemed to be moving in a better direction.

Places they never explored together also had the ability to take a hold on him. Like the church he wanted to bring him once, but now can never. He was never particularly religious, no, not at all. But he knew that he had to bring him there someday when he say the pigeon starting at the great cross. His boy for some reason really loved birds.

The intense speed of the train just reminded him that in order to get to that church, they had to take a train, and that itself would have been beautiful. The wonderful feeling of having his tiny little hand in his as trees and buildings passed by them without a care in the world.

He would have smiled in awe at how the boy’s eyes would flicker and show such passion. It would have been just a fraction, but he was so sure, so very sure that he would have caught it, kept it in his box of memories, buried, never to be seen again.
