IF THERE EVER were a place made of Instagram dreams, this is the place. While We Were Young Kitchen & Cocktails on West 10th Street, NYC's pink tufted velvet banquettes and marble tables and countertops, not to mention their menu of 'Healthy Contemporary American Cuisine' is like a siren song for tourists and locals alike.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
