in new york. . .

"the first time i saw you, i knew you were the one. over the years i have learned what i love most about you. i love watching you from my roof at sunrise, the way the lights glints off the buildings makes everything golden. i love the winter with you and how the rain pools in between the cobblestones on crosby street. i love the black velvet of the east river park at night with the three bridges beyond glittering like necklaces. i love how your tiny streets arc me and how your grand avenues inspire. the leaves changing at the cloisters. . .the hustle and bustle of mulberry street. . .the little people who know you, warned me that i might fall in love and never want to leave. they were right - i have fallen for you new york. . .you are my city." -xx,elizabeth and james
