New York I Love You

By Natalia Wong
On September 30, 2011

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!
