Motorway life
Up and down left and right
always traveling but never thinking about the journey
Looking back on the setting sun and driving on into the night
Up to my dad back to my mum always living in limbo
falling asleep to waving hands and waking up to wooden doors
I look at the constant glass and see my reflection
I watch it change,
grow,
learn
Sometimes driving through winds and rain
Other times through sun and shine
Seasons, celebrations, moments are all just a blur like passing cars
But I remember the same faces and those special moments
While Clouds fade into night skies so do my memories
For although the lights change so frequently never will my heart
And I will remember
I will remember the radio music we sang to
I will remember the toys i brought with me
I will remember the dreams We shared and those we created
I will remember the knowledge he gave me
I will remember the games I played with her
I will remember the laughter we shared and the tears I shed
I will remember the silence I brought upon us
was it the best thing to do?
Perhaps it was, perhaps it wasn’t. It doesn’t matter now
But I will always remember my motorway life
