I’m sitting on the train leaving
Vienna, destination
Stuttgart, Germany. Am I excited? Sort of. Sad? Sort of. I’m a bit of everything actually.
S and K stayed with me until the train left. It was bittersweet. I’ve always watched with a tinge of contempt as travelers draw out their goodbyes. You can tell when someone is excited to leave and when someone just can’t bear to turnaround and board the train. Today I was one of those who didn’t want to leave. Who turned around for just one more hug, just one more conversation, anything to make time slow down. Anything to stop the inevitable.
The German language has a wonderful word for good-bye, “Auf Wiedersehen” which is like saying “Till next time”.
Auf Wiedersehen Vienna
