Dear New York
I’m watching your history
Your brilliant lights
People of all shapes and colors
Fire trucks hustling down the streets
Parks filled of youths playing basketball
The elderly relaxing in the sun under the trees
So, So many bridges
I see all this ambitious city has to offer.
I take the train to 42nd
My favorite place of them all
My head stays positioned to the sky
No stars, no silence, no turning back.
Blues, yellows, greens, pinks
I’m being surrounded by lights
The warmth of the city welcomes me
The cool ocean breeze calms me
I walked pass the Hard Rock
Entered and left Mc Donald’s
Stepped in a puddle while getting in a yellow cab
The meter rolling away
While I was stuck in traffic
Yet I can’t stop smiling.
92.3, Hot 97, Z100
All at my finger tips
I reached into my pocket to get my camera
Man I looked and looked
It was nowhere to be found.
Finally I remembered bumping into a man.
He stole my camera!
The very first time I was ever pick-pocketed
Yet I can’t stop smiling.
I placed my fingers in the air in the shape of a camera
And captured the picture that I will always remember,
Then I shouted:
New York I <3 You!
