a sadness falls over my shoulders
the memories of places that I love
the memories of walking down those old city streets
filled with laughter and smiles
sitting on those old wooden seats
and laughing until our stomachs ache

stories and laughs shared
memories that we can never forget
dreams of travelling
dreams of leaving
dreams of a better place
dreams of a better future

the memories of walking down those old city streets
I found it - a gem from my home country that stood out to me
a message, a present and an everlasting memory - someone who desperately wants to come to my home country

the memories of those blue seas
and hugs that I never wanted to end
one love
one heart
one family.
