You walk around with your hopes and dreams on your shoulders while the subway beats beneath your feet. I wonder what it’s like to hear quick footsteps and the hum of the city. The tall buildings, the views of the sun setting from your rooftops must be incredible. Sometimes I wonder if your lights shine as bright as mine in the night. I’d do anything to feel the energy of your city, to be surrounded by beautiful minds. It’s been so long since I’ve fallen in love, fallen in love with something so much bigger than myself.
They say that New York hearts are as cold as the concrete buildings that fill spaces like the hands of two people in love. I find that hard to believe because even when the hands of lovers are clenched together, there’s a warmth that fills the soul.
Maybe I’ll meet you soon. Or perhaps you’ll walk past me in the street, headphones on and focused on nothing but getting to where you needed to go. Maybe you’ll be a familiar face or perhaps I’ll be just another face in the crowd.
You’re so lucky to be greeted by such a beautiful place in the morning and to be able to bid it farewell as you lose yourself into the night.
I hope to be able to do the same soon.
With all of my love,
A California Soul
P.s. My heart is still there. An incredible man brought it back with him. Should you find it, please hold onto it until I can reclaim it. <3
