I say you are beautiful

I see you, 

through the places I've visited, 

of the stories I've been told, 

of dreams I'm yet to live, 

through the lens of my soul.

I say you are beautiful,

through the way I've learnt to smile,

the way I know how to breathe,

the way I know what's wrong, what's right.

Have you ever dated a city ?

Have you ever dated a city ? Gazed at it longingly, in every mood, 

exploring every corner till you found its soul, and fell in love with it.

Have you ever dated a city ? Watch as she woke up lazily on a Sunday, 

Wistfully smile as she hugs another stranger, then smiles back at you.
