years have gone past fast — one, two, three... we met only briefly, on a couple of occasions, but i still miss detroit something awful. i fell in love the moment its vast expanse of glimmering lights emerged from the night and filled the plane window for what seemed like eternity, the glow dividing into ever increasing numbers of singular lamps. streetlights, windows, cars... so much more than i had ever laid eyes on before.
detroit is a love interest way out of my league. a bit too street-wise, been around the block a few times.. and so tragically beautiful it breaks my heart. a city where my heart was broken. i could never make it there, yet i long for it. the crumbling brick walls, hamtramck streets with familiarly foreign shops, ice-skaters in the traffic circle, all its dilapitated glory. i know its reality is a harsh one. but when it dreams... oh my.
we may never meet again, but i wish detroit all the best.
i will love you forever and always.
