Havana

Havana

After Camila Cabello

What, you never listened to “Copacabana?” The first rule of exotic locations is, “Don't fall in love.” You may wish to be followed back by a daydream, haunted. But the truth is, you will become a ghost in a memory. Mornings riding horseback on the beach, nights salsa dancing under colored lights, they won’t make you interesting. Just frustrated with your dead-end job and boring Tinder dates. You can live for the next trip, but you can’t plan the next romance. And if you could, it wouldn’t give you significance.

I could have told you, if you had asked me.
