Probably for every man there is at least one city that sooner or later turns into a girl. How well or how badly the man actually knew the girl doesn’t necessarily affect the transformation. She was there, and she was the whole city, and that’s that.
-J.D Salinger “A Girl I Knew”
I'm looking for my city these days.
You said I couldn't buy a plane ticket, realistically.
But that's just the reality of things - I'm just waiting it out
Until I can run. Run and run far. And run into my city where that boy is there for me.
One day, you'll realize I'm not here anymore. But then - it'll be okay.
Because I know that I'll run into his arms if I can get there fast enough.
And I will. I want it badly enough - I can make it happen. And it will.
So I'll keep looking for my city
Until I get on that plane and fly.
