I have wandered those streets

Time and again

Seen every nook and corner

And those benches in the dotted gardens

Filled with aging couples and children

I have felt the soft wind blowing

Through my hair, entangling in my clothes

And the balmy sun filter into me

And lighten up my world,       

Time again and again

I have heard the clock tower chime

And the murmur of the hurling falls

Heard the swishing of the fountains

At the square, while I sit and smile

Content and at peace with myself

I’ve waited for you again in the foyer

With eager anticipation and some nerves

Looking forward to a magical day

When we would long drive out

And I would have you to my self, again

Millions of miles separate me from all this

And yet in an instant I do all this

Time and again, and again

Till it has become such a part of me

That I live more there than here…
