memento

I wish I could bottle up the shine and sparkle of our shopping emporiums; the finely adjusted chill of overhead air-conditioning - such expensive air; the glittering decor - the fashionable walls and impeccable floors adorning the rows and rows of exquisite boutiques, those beautifully crafted temples of modern decadence - which is strange; I thought this feeling would've faded by now. It's certainly not the first time I've said goodbye to this place; and yet it never gets easier, bidding farewell to pavements I've known almost all my life and the buildings that I have grown beside. Leaving a city really does change the way you look at it.
