"I don't want to go back,
I am staying here; this is my life goal now",
She said sipping her European coffee,
with eyes set on London's busiest street.
"If all of us abandoned our land,
and decided to enjoy the life we miss there,
then who would guide our people through,
who would lead them out toward the light?"
He wondered, enjoying hot coco.
She looked deep into his small eyes,
she was confused what to say:
he was enjoying the freedom of the foreign land,
but still his heart was left there,
in the country he abandoned.
(Was she a traitor to her people,
did she turned her back in their hardest time?
Do they really need her? Does she have to go back?)
"Then pack your bags and return,
to the land that needs you most.
Why you are still here, while they cry for you there?"
"ah, I can't go back, no one appreciates my talent there,
I can't go back, because I have a life here",
He looked at his watch, "Break is over,
"Time to get back to work",
She saw him hurrying out of the cafe,
Sinking in the crowds,
Her mind still wondering
between life here and there.
