While I am waiting for my flight
This is the picture in my mind
Sitting in my favourite pub, with people of all kind
Thinking about London, and how handsome he is in his dark blue suit, as an arrogant knight
Listening to London, to hear the melodies coming from random musicians, playing under a street light
Teasing London, when the ‘cream or jam on top’ issue becomes a funny little fight
Blessing London for all the brilliant colours I experienced in ROH; without them I’d have continued living blind
Breathing London , while walking near Thames under a light rain without an umbrella in the middle of the night
Smiling at London, remembering all the things that I’ve done, wrong or right
Thanking London for blurring the stupid line that I had before between black and white
Blinking at London for the memory of the pretty little secrets we buried to twilight
In the end, leaving London. No, I was brave- it was just a little that I cried
Love you London. We will meet someday again; for both of us –I know- the new chapter is bright.
@ Stansted Airport, London. 1.23pm. October 5, 2011.
