is it possible to be so excited over a city you cant seem to fall asleep? its 6.05am and im wide awake. my thoughts are filled with melbourne, melbourne and melbourne. the streets, the food, the cafe, the people, the air, things i can do, memories, things i have done, moments that have happened, and moments waiting to happen when i'm gonna be there next month.
it has been 2 years and a little more, and i'm finally returning, to my favourite city in the world. melbourne is always buried deep inside me, i dont wanna look at it because it hurts that i cannot be there, but when i know i can finally unearth it, i get so excited it makes me excited i can be so excited over something.
i wanna just live like a normal person in the city. i wanna go to the gym, i wanna go for paul and rachel's classes, i wanna buy a take away sushi from sushi sushi and munch away walking. i wanna drink as many cups of coffee as my stomach and wallet can afford, i wanna just have a moment, a movie moment in the perfect city in my little universe.
i wanna eat my favourite thai food at ying thai and have a fredo ice cream after, even though i think fredo is overrated. i wanna walk past my old home on orr street and remember the many cold nights i walk home in my gym shorts hoping one day i will be skinny and life will change for me.
i wanna go to the casino half drunk and make some money, i wanna go to hungry jacks and eat a 3am meal. i wanna take a bite in golden gay time, my favourite ice cream from 7-11. i wanna text qing yi tomorrow to entice her to follow me back to melbourne.
i cant wait to go back to my favourite city, because because, because its a part of me i left behind and can't wait to revisit.
