Manhattan holds a special place in my heart.
Because it holds you,
my fleeting friend,
and our meetings there.
In its concrete walls are the embedded memories
of our encounters.
Maybe a simple moment for you while a
life-changing for me?
Only you know,
as I smile from the images of you
flooding my mind
and invading my fantasies.
I call out to you as you're whisked away....
Off to another commitment.
Once before me, yet now gone.
The treasure chest of the river holds
my desire for more time.
One more hug and and one more chance to say
I love you, with all my heart.
I can never get enough of your affection.
But life demands you.
So you go as I stay.
And if I miss you, your essence is just
a subway ride away.
And I'll walk the streets with a little smile
and a full heart
reminiscing about our meetings in Manhattan.
