They say, you will never find love in the city.
you will kiss. you will drink. you will dance until your feet are tired and the glitter in your  eyes will wash away. You will feel  electric light through the lasers , let the bass sucker punch your chest.
you will go home with him and you will  rest . You will  do the same thing all over again,  Tomorrow,   with somebody else.

you will have all this life  but not love. you dont fall in love in the city.
But the sky line lights will glimmer and it will feel like butterflies in your stomach. The empty midnight bar will  keep open as you drink your thoughts away.  We had conversations that lasted lifetimes. The train rides cut too short cause you've kissed the whole way through. The laughter through the tunnels, the darkness before the dawn.

Contrary, to belief. I love in the city. I found it in  the bustling crowd and I feel like I always hear your name.  I found in city streets and techno beats and humming to old songs. I found him in  the arcade bar after three shots and a long night. I found him , and he was the city.
