Verrazano–Narrows Bridge
The Verrazano–Narrows Bridge (sometimes called simply the Verrazano Bridge) is a double-decked suspension bridge in the U.S. state of New York that connects the New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn. It spans the Narrows, a body of water connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger, wide open lower bay.
The bridge is named for the Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, whose name is misspelled on the bridge, as well as for the Narrows. In 1524, while in the service of Francis I of France, Verrazzano became the first European to enter New York Harbor and the Hudson River. It has a central span of 4,260 feet (1,298 m) and was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1964, surpassing the Golden Gate Bridge by 60 feet, until it was in turn surpassed by 366 feet by the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom in 1981. It has the eleventh longest main span in the world, while retaining its place as the longest bridge span in the Americas. Its massive towers can be seen throughout a good part of the New York metropolitan area, including from spots in all five boroughs of New York City and in New Jersey.

Frozen Rose
by: Anna TsuchiyaI don't wanna hear the bad news when I was a little girl
In front of the mirror I couldn't understand a thing
There were tears falling down my cheeks no matter
How much, I washed my face, I couldn't wash my soul.
I should of hold on to him tight
I wanted to hold him back so he wouldn't leave
A frozen rose that has lost it's love
Only the memories of you dye her into red
Stays there waiting to melt away
The petals scatter like glass tears
I really I'll forgive you if you're afraid of me
I wanna be hold so tight that I can't breath
Save me from my loneliness
If it was possible I shouldn't have meet you
A frozen rose that has lost it's love
Only the memories of you dye her into red
Stays there waiting to melt away
The petals scatter like glass tears
I really I'll forgive you if you're afraid of me
A frozen rose that has lost it's love
Only the memories of you dye her into red
Stays there waiting to melt away
The petals scatter like glass tears
A frozen rose that has lost it's love
