I miss you. We use to be so close and circumstances have arisen which have pulled us apart. I remember the days and nights we have spent together. All the good times dating back so many years. The late nights downtown at all the joints that once graced your streets; most of which are gone now, but the memories hold true. The days frolicking in your parks and shopping in your stores. Wandering aimlessly taking photos of your beauty. The apartments and houses I've lived in, Uptown, Downtown, Northeast, South; we've done it all together. Always something to take in.
Any road trip out of state, I did not feel at home from the "Welcome to Minnesota" sign that graced the borders. We would detour if needed to be greeted and welcomed back with open arms from the view of your skyline.
Sure, I come to see you, but it is always in passing with a sideways glace as the things I have to do have taken over my things I want to do.
While my address now reads St. Paul, I'm still a Minneapolis girl at heart. I'll be back, even if it takes some time.
Sincerely,
Me.
