once in a while when it's good it'll feel like it should and they're all still around and you're still safe and sound and you don't miss a thing so you cry when you're driving away in the dark. singing stop this train i want to get off and go home again i can't take this speed it's moving in i know i can but now i see we'll never stop this train These lines in the song immediately make me think of my children. They live with their Mum and I am now resinged to being a weekend Dad. Difficult breakup 6 years ago etc, etc. Each 2nd Sunday evening I take them back to their house and I act all brave and cool, dropping them off with a cheery smile etc, all false - but i dont want them seeing 'Dad' depressed or upset. And I save the real feelings for the drive home, yes, sometimes crying, often just lost in the traffic. When they come round to mine it's like being normal again, I get to be Dad again, fixing dinner, fixing bikes, fixing squabbles, I can see them , hear them , talk to them and they are safe again with me, -it feels like it should so to speak- and I dont miss them as they are right there....and then comes the inevitable drive back to their Mums and I drive home alone wishing it was different, knowing it cant be, and deep down wanting to get off the emotional train, but I stay on as it will take me to the next weekend when I see them....and we're all safe and sound once again. |
