Downtown Chicago is Where Our Hearts Met

by alexwritingpoetry

Why am I fucking up So bad? What I am even doing? When am I ever gonna learn? I met you in downtown Chicago... But I had to leave The very next day. So we made plans to live in New York City- And maybe visit LA. Showing me things I Thought I'd never see- Was it love Or just my fantasy? Was it real- Or just a dream? Was it pleasant, Or my nightmare? Sometimes you get so anxious, And I take it personal- But little did I know Is that you were just as hurt And as scared as me. Was it real- A dream, Or fantasy? Well, at least we Will always have Downtown Chicago- And concerts- And movies nights When we'd watch Some great flicks... I first met you in downtown Chicago... I left the very same day. But I promised I would Travel to New York City, And then maybe come meet you in LA, Even if for one day. So be my teacher- My favorite person- And my friend- Accept me as I am, I will care for you unconditionally- No matter what we are. Because my heart Will remain Where we first met In downtown Chicago.

Notes

This poem was partly adapted from the song "Chicago" by Highly Suspect. A poem for my best friend who I am hopelessly in love with, but nothing will come of it. A poem of acceptance of that, but that I will still always love and care for her. We first met in Downtown Chicago at a little ramen shop. We had amazing times. We made plans to one day live together in New York City and to visit her hometown of LA. One day, maybe one day.
