Life Story

Music: Adam Gwon WARREN This is a photograph I found on the street Oh, a year ago. A wrinkled old photograph of a guy and a girl on the beach He’s got her hand in his hand and all seems well I think they’re both smiling it’s hard to tell There’s a crease and a tear masking secrets of their life story This is an unopened Valentine I found one September I left it unopened, afraid it would lose its mystique See, there’s a heart on the front drawn in faded ink You can’t read the name, but it made me think Are these people aware they’ve lost pieces of their life story? I was walking tonight like I usually walk Through those benches outside Union Square When all of a sudden I tripped over something And look it was this little book This book is different from most things I’ve found for one reason Yes, it looks old. But there’s proof someone dropped this today You’ll notice the cover is missing the font antique The pages are yellowed But what’s unique Are the notes in the margins in ballpoint, I’d guess And here’s today’s date and an email addresss A life story A life story A life story
