You show me the views of an unfamiliar city,
Places and buildings I've never been to,
And tell me the stories of a life so distant,
Yet kept so close to your heart.
Schools that saw you grow up,
Cafe's that hosted outings with friends,
Cities you visited with your father,
Companies your brother worked at, and you are so proud.
I'm hypnotized by your words,
In those pictures, I see a little kid,
Smiling eye to eye,
Cheeks revealing secret dimples.
You've gotten taller,
More mature, maybe, and smarter.
There's nostalgia in your eyes as you tell me your childhood,
I'm envious, almost, of those happy times.
