Joon and Sam

Inspired by the sweet, whimsical movie, "Benny & Joon", starring Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson and Aidan Quinn. A stellar cast and performance. 

Joon and Sam

Wearing a helmet in the car
Watching the world pass by
See a man sitting in a tree
A connection is formed

Lose a bet and gain a roommate
Enjoy new ways to experience life
Painting together and sharing a sweet kiss
Feelings and emotions became entwined 

Sam and Joon became close friends
It blossomed into a true love
Two hearts became one 
In unusual circumstances 

Two eccentric people
Trying to navigate their path
Finding love and acceptance
A chance to have a new start

An artist and a performer
Delightful moments together
Ironing cheese sandwiches
In Joon's new apartment

Independence and freedom
Dignity and respect
Choices that are made
To live and learn and love

Joon and Sam together
It's a sweet, whimsical love
To remind us that anything is possible
In our Universe so beautiful
