I
took this camera
to capture
her in the city;
these
towers would
fall down
for her beauty
this
I had
to preserve.
here,
we're
in Bryant Park's
field;
in
this photo, we're
along the
South Street Seaport.
here,
at the
center of
Times Square
as
if the world
was watching us,
&
we truly
believed they were.
As
the sun set
over the Hudson
River valley,
I
stood her right here,
for this photo in
Union Square;
to
capture the
Empire State building
in the distance.
the
tower's
floodlights were
lit green;
the
same green
of the traffic lights
leading Uptown
as
she reached
for my hands,
my camera
so
she could shoot
this video footage
here, and here,
of
me running
up Broadway,
towards her,
passing
17th, 18th,
& 19th Streets & 20th;
I
knew then,
I'd be willing to go
pass the squares,
the
park,
through the
Viaduct Valley
up
to the Heights,
to chase her
with my love,
laughing,
in a playful
newfound joy
and
capturing
picture after picture
of each step.
