spent sunday walking all over the city.
lower east side, union square, soho, flatiron, williamsburg, bushwick.
gorgeous summer sunday. one of the last, no doubt.
brunch earlier than i've ever gone in recent memory. out of town friend followed by in town friend that i never see. showing people who've lived here longer than me places they had no clue existed. familiar stomping grounds, old haunts, new memories.
post script...
"turn out the light
just say goodnight to yourself.
may i remind you
when you find you
you're all alone
is when you've got to be strong
cause that's when they call you
in the night
he's got your picture
in his mind
he's got your number
on a paper
at his disposal
anytime.
is it really true?
could you save yourself
for someone who
loves you for you?
so many times we just give it away
to someone who
someone who
you met in a bar
the back of a car
and for a moment
you felt important
but not in your heart
my self esteem
it's been low
go ahead and count
it's been lower than low
i know the feeling
of it stealing
life out from under me.
i want to learn
how you save yourself
for someone who
loves you for you.
so many times
we just give it away
to someone who
couldn't even remember your name.
could you save yourself
for someone who
loves you for you
loves me for me
give it away to someone who
someone who will cherish your name
cherish your name."
