I Was Alive

I was alive there

In the warm and fresh

Breeze of European air.

I was alive there

Despite the heartbreak and the

Pain of an old relationship’s wear and tear.

I was alive there in the streets

Of Pamplona and Prague.

The places where freedom and adventure meets.

I was alive there in the early morning hours

Stumbling from bars or starting Alpine climbs

Marveling at youth with its passions and powers.
