I asked you to meet me,
where the streets hum soft with rain,
in Amsterdam's quiet whispers,
where we could start again.

The canals held our secrets,
the bridges our unspoken dreams,
but now those pathways lead you
somewhere far beyond my reach, it seems.

I thought love would linger,
like the mist along the Seine,
but now you stand with another,
and I'm left calling your name.

The tulips have bloomed without me,
and your heart’s no longer mine,
yet I trace the steps we never took,
in a city lost to time.

So meet me in the echoes,
of a song that fades away,
where Amsterdam remembers us,
but knows you couldn’t stay.

It's about time for
a much needed VACATION!!
To CHILL, to HAVE FUN,
but most off,
some RELAXATION!!
Let go of the FRUSTRATION,
BATHE yourself into
SATISFACTION!!!
Take a BREAK, take a TOUR,
go on a TRIP, and
so much more!!
LAY ON THE BEACH;
WORK ON YOUR TAN;
snorkel in the water,
GET BURIED IN THE SAND!!!!
JUST LET GO and just Be Free,
You need you a Break,
go on a LONG LEAVE,
a GET AWAY is what
you really NEED!!
Just take off, GO AWAY,
to a desserted Island,
and have a FIELD DAY!!
Ride the WAVES,
sail on a YACHT,
Or just do nothing,
go on and KICK BACK!!!
Have time for yourself,
you need to just BREATHE;
a much needed VACATION
is ALL YOU REALLY NEED!!!
