Favorite Destination

I’ve traveled long and afar.
I know what it’s like to be on a plane for over 10 hours.
I have been in an airport for about half a day.
I know how it feels to be late for your flight.
I know what it feels like to be 4 hours ahead of your flight.
I know what it feels like to depend on the kindness of a stranger to be the reason I make your flight because you’re only 10 minutes away from the flight departing.
My favorite destination is still you.
When I look back, you weren’t in my blueprint for travel plans.

It just worked out that way.
Even if you just happened to be the stop on the way to my “supposed to be” destination.
I always wanted to stay there.
You were my favorite.
I just wanted to stay there as long as I could.
Even if I knew that I wasn’t exactly sticking to the plan.
I wanted to stay there.
I wanted to make it work whatever it took.
I want to make it work.
I want it to be the place that I stay in for the rest of my life.
I just don’t know how that looks like for me.
I wanted just to stay.
Connecting flight or not.
Let’s just make it work.
How can you take a city with you back home?
Will the city be the same when you bring it back home?
How could I make it to where I bring even a piece of Barcelona here, right now?
How could I bring a little piece of London to be with me right now?
You don’t even understand how much I want to be right there at this very moment.
Or just want you next to me at this very moment.
I understand that it doesn’t make any sense.
Now that I’ve been there, I want to keep a piece of it forever.
All I have is memories, but since I only have that, the only thing that I want is the real deal.
The memories don’t cut it.
If someone has invented something like that, to make memories come to life to relive them, can I call first dibs?
I want it all.
I want to feel what I felt when I was there.
Not just reminiscing, I want to feel it all.
I want to be able to feel it. All those feelings I was feeling.
It’s damn near impossible, but sometimes when I close my eyes, I can see myself right back there.
Now, I wonder if going back will feel the same.
Is it all hype?
I guess I can’t figure it out until I decide to return.
