This City

I’ve fallen in love with this city

The drives, walks and paths of all

even those cold winter nights walking past fires that kept all warm

And the summer days spent dying of heat.

I fell in love

with the people of this city,

the nooks and crannies we call a safe space,

The streets where I learnt my value.

Now this city feels like home,

with my closest and my peace.

A place which I eventually have to part with,

but stays like a fever dream.
