NYC...

What happened?....

we used to get along so well…we used to go out all the time and have fun…we used to walk around together and laugh, play….shit we used to be in love…I can walk with you and get an affordable meal…I used to walk around with you with 20 bucks in my pocket and come home with 10 dollars…I used to go out on a date and spend 57 bucks on dinner and a movie…and I wasn’t even trying to be cheap…$20 for 2 movie tickets with popcorn…and 37 bucks on dinner with a glass of wine for me and my date….now it costs over $100…i used to be able to afford a studio apartment in hells kitchen…they used to be 750 a month…now they are 1800…

I used to be able to go grocery shopping for the next 2 weeks for 70 bucks….now its 100 dollars a week and god forbid I want steak one night a month…I’ll have to skip doing laundry for a week…we used to live great making 45000 dollars a year…now I have to live with 3 people in a one bedroom just to make ends meet….we used to be envied together…now I tell people we live together and they feel sorry for me….we used to walk around and have different flavors in the neighborhoods…now they all seem to look the same…or they will real soon…what happened nyc?...

i used to love you…but now it seems like you’ve left me for a richer man…well, let me tell you something before I leave…he’ll never treat you like I did…he’ll never understand why you can be such a bitch sometimes…because sometimes you are…and I loved you anyway….for every garbage filled street…or every piss stained corner…I accepted your flaws…now you’re living the good life…expensive things…and gaudy homes…with many young callers begging to spend more money on you than I ever could…and you like it…everything that made you interesting is gone…the Broadway shows cost too much…central park is overcrowded… the only thing people know from you is that you are one hell of an expensive date…but I knew you before that

I can’t forget or forgive what you’ve become….you went from a great girl that one can marry…to a one night stand easily forgotten and later regretted….have fun with your new suitors…I’m moving on.
