As I Recall

Have you seen the city
from the highest story
of the building standing there?
I climbed them once,
those cement steps
with bold inclines,
to reach the skyline
where the heavens meet the streets.
And in your eyes
the lights of the city
tell the secret story
of the boy standing there.
I knew you once,
your carefree steps
and bold inclinations,
when you loved the skyline
and found heaven in the streets.
