A Love Letter To New York City

It's been wonderful and daunting 37 days since I came. I've been dreaming of visiting you since I was a kid and watched movies that take places on the streets of New York City. I've been imagining how it would feel to walk there and see the buildings, smell the air. I always knew I need to come and see you in person, yet I didn't know what to expect. You surprised me, at first you've been treating me like your own.

You smothered me with fluffy blanket and my favorite food. Even on a warm autumn day, your cold gaze left an unforgettable impression on me. You gave me the chills I was looking for. Butterfly not only in my stomach but in my mind. Oh my dearest New York, if only I could be like you. You are so strong and magnificent, holding everyone and everything together so tightly. Even on those hazy days, you are a ray of sunshine that keeps me warm. You provide me with the energy I need to function and occupy my mind, even when it's rainy outside.


You're unpredictable but I don't blame you, I chose this. One day, I woke up and felt as if you were mine, I could walk and feel your energy running through my veins. The other one I don't know what to think or feel, I am tired. The city is always moving, they say it never sleeps and I must say it is true. I feel sick and my feet hurt. As I am trying to relax on my bed I can hear the voices and sirens from the streets. It's noisy and distracting. How can I rest when thinking of you, I have no peace.


I may be in love with you, yet you don’t care at all. So many have fallen for you, and run to you with expectations and dreams. I must say I admire you, how strong you are. You hold everyone on your shoulders and try not to sink. I wish I could be with you, or rather that u could be you.
