romantic trips

I've been
places, like Santorini
with
people
I don't want to be with.
in Venice,
or on Broadway,
on a bench in central park,
on a ship,
on a hillside, on the deck
of a large
ship
staring at the Turkish sky.
where there
should have been love,
romance,
a bonding of two hearts,
there was nothing,
nothing by the longing
still
unsettled,
deep inside.
