Because

Marrakech has swiftly disappeared around a corner.

Its buzz gradually decays.

Its colours pale shade by shade.

Its scents gently dissolve.

Its flavours melt away spice after spice.

I walk backwards, half blind, and step by step fall back into London's whimsical arms.

But what I see with my eyesight regained, is not what I left behind.

London has changed.

Its buzz.

Its colours.

Its scents.

Its flavours.

London has changed.

'Why?', they ask.

Well, simply because, you know.

I hear it with new ears.

I see it with new eyes.

I scent it with a new sense of smell.

I taste it with a new tongue.

I have changed.

'Why?', they ask.

Well, simply because, you know.

The world has changed.

'Why?' they ask.

Well, simply because, you know.

Simply because.

My world has changed.

Because.
