New York City
 NYC
Wasn't recent,
doesn't make it any less memorable.
Haunts me every day and night.
You won't be reading this,
because you don't hang out in places like this.
You are too busy working,
in that high life.
While I'm down here in the trenches,
fighting for dear life.
You're too cool,
You're so cool.
You've got power and you know it.
You've got power and I feel it.
You see something in me you like.
I saw it in your face that day.
I felt it in your energy. Reaching out for me.
You see the real me.
The person I have, deep inside, that I could be in real life.
With your help. You bring it out in me.
I need a place to land.
I am always running.
I need a home for my heart, because I'm out here floundering.
Untethered.
Trying not to lose my mind.
I saw you fighting for me, over me.
Keeping other guys away from me.
If you saw me today, would it be the same?
Or have you forgotten?
I haven't forgotten.
I can date every man in the City, but none match your energy.
I just need to know,
Where are you now?
How do you feel now?
What would you do now, if you saw me?
In the meantime, I'll try to numb the pain.
Work myself to death.
Scrape by. Barely survive.
With you haunting my mind.
Living this half life.
