You arrive looking for a restart For new places to speak to you For new people to inspire you For new things to interest you You come, with the full intent to shed the old person To be influenced by your environment To be immersed in a culture far from your own To be swept away by the the discovery that nothing is impossible You come, with open arms, hoping to be sucked in By the rush of traffic, the comings and goings By the vibe of the city, of the cool, the weird and the creative By the simple beauty of hidden gems, of the forests, and the mountains You come wanting to live You come home wanting your heart back From the city that have captured it successfully From the people who saw your potential From the dream that you chased halfway around the world -San Francisco Jam September 21, 2017, Palo, Leyte When you can't sleep and can't stop thinking of the life you learned to live and love. Oh, San Francisco, what have you done to me? #poetry #instagramsf #goldengatebridge
