New York

New York    

I didn’t go to the “city”
It wasn’t meant to be
But where I was I leave with love
Because I did believe

The distance far
Just a minor distraction
  I trusted what I felt

I thought long and hard
And then went packing
  Everything went well

Now back at home
I start anew
I know now to recognize
That everything that makes us well
Comes with compromise
