When We Live In The City (Prose For My Darling)



When we live in the city, we will create a new energy and fuel our long-awaited Renaissance.
We will be our own movement.
We will pioneer our dreams.
The sun, the stars, and the electricity of the streets will shine, and they will shine for us.
We'll sing every word and every step will be dancing.
We will be the cosmopolitan glow of every marquee and the grace upon every stage.
We will be the sweetly sung revival of Art.
My heart will beat with yours and you will be my gravity.
Every round of applause will be an ode to you, and every bow, my proudest submittance.
You will be my deliverance from chaos.
I will be your security, your shelter, your home.
There will be no doubt, no confusion, no fear.
I will be my best self for you and only you.
Because I found my best self in you.
We will be untouchable.
Until then, my love, I will remain at your side.
You are what I'll always hold on to.
And I will never let go.
My hand, my heart, and my whole life are yours.
For when we live in the city, we will continue to be what we already are: Forever.
