POEM: City of Lights, City of Love

We’re in Paris. 
It’s been my biggest dream to come here. 
La Tour Eiffel. 
Trocadéro. 
Arc de Triomphe. 
Champs-Élysées. 
Louvre. 
La Pyramide. 
Arc du Carrousel. 
Place de la Concorde. 
L’Obélisque de Louxor. 
La Seine. 
Les bateaux-mouches. 
Les bouquinistes. 
Pont Neuf. 
Notre-Dame de Paris.
Île de la Cité. 
Sainte-Chapelle. 
Le Quartier Latin. 
La Sorbonne. 
Montmartre. 
Moulin Rouge. 
Sacré-Cœur. 
And I love you more than anything else in the world. 
It’s the two of us in Paris, and I am so happy to be here with you.
When we return, I want us to be the three of us. 
City of lights, city of love.
