Happy place I want to move to San Fernando Without warning I want to run the bnb And find the old church where I used to play I want to find where my grandparents were buried I want to melt in the sun And float on the water We used to dance in the rain I used to climb trees Run on rooftops Once the school kids ran after me yelling "how are you?" over and over again because they wanted to practice their English I locked myself in a chicken shack and screamed "I'm fine! I'm fine!" I want to sit on the stone bench under my lolo and lola's bougainvillea tree and pull off petals until enough flowers say that I'm loved I want my lola's hug I want to see them being in love They were so in love all the time |
