Echoes

This city

finds new ways

to break my heart

each time

I return.

Every building,

every pavement,

every room

holds a bittersweet reminder of you.

And I can hear her laugh echoing down this street,

that street

See her dance under electric lights

Remember us walking arm in arm, into the night.

But,

it’s just

Echoes.

This city

finds new ways

to break my heart

each time

I return.

and I search

Every shadow

Every face

But I can’t find that magic glint

in her eyes

And I can hear her howl into the winter’s night

I can see her run under the pale moonlight

See us clinging to each other as we lost our minds.

But

It’s just

Echoes.
