Your small town blues, they're melting away
Don't make a brand new start of it, in Old New York
You always make it there, you make it anywhere
Its up to you, New York, New York

New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleeps
And find king of the hill one top of the list 
A number one


- Theme From New York, New York by Frank Sinatra

I keep walking forward, never looking back 
Because if I ever stop even for a while, seems like thoughts about you will come again 

But it's no use since I miss you so much 
Memories about you never fade even once 

After the long winter, spring will always come
Melting again my once frozen heart
As I look to the night sky, thoughts about you will always come too,
Tonight as I can't sleep again, I wonder if you know?

Hop on the 90 years old roller coaster
as it offers a glimpse into the past

Wonder wheel makes me wonder as I wander
My dreams of growing up into a wonder
slowly withers

I have come to realize how adulting took away all my ambitious thoughts
and I must say that
The youngest me is the bravest me

So,
little child, don't be afraid to dream because
you are at the most fearless stage of your life

Spread your wings and fly high.

If,
Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too

Then,
Heartbreaks are proof that love can be painful too 

We use promises to fall in love 
but we compromise to stay in love

Promises that failed to be fulfilled 

turned into shackles 
and
we slowly became prisoners of love 
who were trapped in the past

Cheers to a place that has witnessed my growth
As I have turned into a better me than I used to be

The fountain in front of the Nebraska Union
that many had soaked their feet
along with conversations that brought laughter and tears

Huskers would hold a cup of coffee under the trees
writing their uncompleted assignments
and there is me
lying in the hammock
enjoying the exceptionally nice weather in Nebraska today

There is an old saying in Nebraska that
if you don't like the weather, just wait a while.

It can be snowing on a random day in April and
kids can be outside with their tees and shorts playing football on the next day

Football season attracts the sea of red
cheering Go Big Red
The Memorial Stadium still holds an ongoing record
of consecutive sellouts and
on every game day
the stadium becomes the third largest city in the State of Nebraska

As a wise friend once said
The color of Nebraska is red
and the color of your blood is red
Therefore,
Nebraska will always run through your veins.

There is truly
No Place like Nebraska.





They say
We are living
in a world full of color

They say
Every day is a new day
full of blessings

They say
Red is passionate
Red is energetic

But why do I
Only see black and white
in the world full of color

But why do I feel
Every day is a new day
full of sorrows

But why do I see
Red as blood
Red as wound
Red as endless hell
