My
dearest New York,
You are
the big apple of my eye. From the moment we met, I knew you were going to be
very important to me. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I
must admit that spending so much time away from you recently has me longing for
you like a drunk girl craves late night pizza slices or bodega sandwiches.
You are sweeter
than the frosting of a Magnolia cupcake. When we are together, it feels more
magical than a subway platform serenade. In all aspects, you truly bring the
best of both worlds to our relationship, just like a black & white cookie.
I ate one today and shed a tear because it just didn’t taste the same without
you (yes, they exist outside of NYC).
I miss
our walks through Central Park during “puppy hour,” and the ease at which we avoid
Times Square when we are together. You bring out the best in me, and I am
forever excited for our adventures and new experiences to come.
No
combination of subway transfers, cockroaches, pigeons, or large rodents could
keep my love for you at bay. I would climb 500 subway stairs, and then I would
climb 500 more just to be with you right now. You are worth every extra penny
because you are better than all of the others – there truly is no competition.
I can’t
wait to see you next weekend.
With love
and longing,
Your only
Liz
