"Somewhere.
there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while.
So when you are lonely, remember this is true.
Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you."

in exactly the same shades of green and blue (not sure about the pink),
this really encapsulates my entire experience of Europe.
thank you.
I had to fight back this little pinch on my heart,
before I gasped for more air.
and screamed.
the repetitions. the sad truth that colours fade (or remain the same) at the same terminal;
of transits, of travelling, in between a place of interest to another.
Repeat.
Isn't travelling about waiting?
waiting for that moment to capture that ephemeral quality of a moment
waiting to board the next plane or train?
waiting to get from one street to the grand tower, church, museum, hall, ...
and only, if I had paused, to look carefully at the windows, the roofs, the stones that come together to form the pavements
only if I had paused and understood this waiting.

"Somewhere.
there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while.
So when you are lonely, remember this is true.
Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you."

surely. I'm never lonely.
thank you.

what better to describe my transformation in Europe?
That inexpressible struggle that came with the self-discoveries
only repetition of the places
only in each repetition, something remains, something is removed.

it is a book that brings tears close to falling
it is a book that tells so much by doing very little (or too much)
it is a book that may have a simple motivation to it but achieves so much

perhaps, only you, saw the change in me.
that irrevocable repetitions of change;
a linear course of whirlpool-like proportions, threatening to derail out of course;

aren't the undiscovered countries always capable of disorienting us and forcing us to redefine ourselves?

"Somewhere.
there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while.
So when you are lonely, remember this is true.
Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you."

Now, I understand.
