As I grew older,
The city unfurled itself to me,
And in a moment it would shrink
And be texture-less much like that of
A brown kite's wings having taken flight -
Places and time shrink over the years
And I don't recall my grandparents' house
Being so small when I visit them now.
I don't recall yesterday's birthday celebration
With friends as a ten year old event -
These roads are so familiar
The vastness of my surroundings
In my youth is now long gone
Albeit the vastness of the world
Is an appalling thought, my love
While you leave trails
Where I may never go,
I can only imagine the speck
I've become in your vision.
