They say if you love something, let it go...and if it comes back to you, it was meant to be. Now I can't necessarily let a city I love go by remaining in it. I therefore have to let myself go from it (or shall I say it has to let me go). And if I return some day, then I know it was meant to be.

This is my turn. Portland, I love you and hope to see you again....but until that day comes, New York City...how you doin'?
