“This City Love”

A short poem I wrote tonight about moving on after a relationship while living in the same city you once roamed together and making peace with it. I made a spoken video video for it as well, watch below…

The city glows,

but I remember when its lights were ours.

A train passing, a window lit, your hand in mine, all of it lingers.

I don’t ache the same.

I’ve traded longing for stillness,

regret for quiet gratitude.

Love is no longer behind me, just woven into the streets I keep walking.
