You are like gold to me.

It’s been a long time. 

I’ve forgotten that at one point, I knew how to appreciate you. I knew how to love you right, treat you right, take it easy, take it slow, and just know you the way you have always known me. As much as I’d like to say I’ve done the majority of growing, we can’t deny that you’ve changed a lot too. In ways that make you unrecognizable. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t like this — you, the you that you are now. It makes me uncomfortable, it makes me feel strange, it makes me wonder, and think, and over think. At the end of the day, it all remains the same, that you are you — and I am me. I left you for a reason. 

Growth. Love. Hope. Dreams. Ambitions. 

All of which have happened, I’ve done, am doing, and have yet to accomplish. 

— It’s really good to see you happy, doing well, even. And… I’ve missed you. All of you. Every bit from as far back as I can remember to this very present moment. As much as you are you and I am me, and as far as I am away from you, there is no denying… 

Vancouver, I will always love you. 

I’ve spoken my piece.

Peace.
