"But I was just some stupid boy on a bus
When your nom de guerre was code-name Caroline
So my vespa became your chariot
From the green zone Marriott
To be etched upon my mind"
"And when they flashed your picture across the screen
How my heart seemed to leap out of me
And they attached a list of your identities
But the one you'll always be
To me
Is Valerie Plame"
Seems to me be fairly easy to understand. He met a girl, fell in love with her. She disappears. When Plame gets exposed by Cheney they show her on TV and the guy sees it.
