City.

Things I wanted to tell you. Questions I haven’t asked. Experiences for which I have no words. I see you; I feel you; I live in you. You touch my existence, you make me feel alive and inspired, you wear me down, you bear me down. You lift me up. I can hide in you. I want to run and I get lost, no hiding between the walls; windows – telling stories. You make me free, and you confine me, nowhere to go; new places to discover. You can be so complex, the core indiscernible, and I recognize that about you. Catch me, throw me and whirl me around. Tell me who you are; I look at you – tell me: What do I see?
