one city

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.

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.
