Dear New York,
How I’ve missed you. I know it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face and I am truly sorry. You have not been forgotten. There are just other places I need to be right now. I hate to keep you waiting, but we must trust it is in good faith.
Oh, I miss your skin. Your touch. I miss the way you smell, even before a shower. I miss your intoxicating allure in the evenings; the grunge and the dirt along with the beautiful city lights at night. You’ve always been a true romantic and for that I see potential. Most of all, I miss the way you hold my hand when I am afraid. Even on cold nights in dark alleys, you’re warm.
But I am never afraid of you. No, you are my inspiration. My muse. And I think of you often, wondering when will we meet again? Perhaps some day on a long awaited vacation? For dinner and a movie? Or maybe a more permanent fixture in the long term we could be together for real.
For now, California may have my soul, but you will always have my heart.
Take care. Stay strong. Eat your veggies and drink some tea or whisky for me and may it fill you with warmth and grace to know that even though we are far apart, we will always be together in spirit.
With love,
Sara
Miss Conception
