Long Distance

Oh let me tell you of my lovers all across the globe:

They have seen me in black dresses; they have seen me in morning robes.

My lovers let me come and go,

My lovers are how I grow.

They have caused me panic and epiphanies,

They have shown me art and taught me theories.

I am young and in love with many a city,

They do not care if I am happy or pretty.

The streets don't judge me,

They let me be free.

Amongst graffiti and skyscrapers I found something like 'bliss',

I've tasted ice cream and pastries that felt as good as a kiss.

The morning sun makes them look like fire,

Every time I see this I define my desire:

To find new lovers and to keep the old,

With each one I find there's a new story to be told.
