This city holds a familiarity for me.
For I have walked it’s streets numerous times
Been a resident at one point as well
I am immune to the constant noise, crowds and even the rancid smell of the subways
It is a home away from home for me
But the towering skyscrapers, bright lights and honking horns faded away
The sun setting in between the buildings held a deeper beauty
When I held you in my arms in that bed
New York streets became uncharted territory when I saw them through your eyes
Wonder, amazement and excitement filled me
When we walked through Greenwich Village
I had tunnel vision at the bar and even felt myself blushing
As I felt your heated gaze on me
Every time our lips touched, the room and the people in it disappeared
It was only about you and I
We made love in the sky repeatedly that weekend
As the city kept roaring in the streets below
We made our own music above
The city isn’t the same to me anymore since your presence illuminated it’s skyline
