So Long, London

Once you were a daydream

just

out

of

reach—

exciting,

but familiar

enough to be

comfortable

an idyllic

wonderland

only we know about

But in the thick fog

you couldn’t see me

I called out till

I lost my voice

the bridge didn’t fall

but we burned it down

to nothing left

to romanticize.

it’s time to go.

so, so long, London—-

And hello,

Paris.
