I shoulda called ya

    after sendin bird-of-paradise stems

                       on ya birthday

cause we coulda been best friends, like ...

   well, you know who I'm talkin about.

 We'da shared so many hours t'getha,

     jus talkin, dreamin and plannin.

          We coulda been on a train            ride through Colorado,

topped off by a sleigh ride in Vermont

                 tastin maple syrup,

     danglin our feet in cool waters

              while fishin off Valdez,

watchin aroraborilis ribbons glide across 

                                                                     night-skies,

         wrappin 'round twinklin stars

                    like best friends.
