the four right chords can make me cry

There’s a girl I know
She’s gorgeous, glamorous and gifted
A magnet
She draws everyone in
And polarizes them:
You’d either love her,
Or be deathly jealous
Yes, she’s that fabulous

She happens to be someone
Very dear to my heart
For past the surface
Don’t be distracted, boys
Is a sensitive soul
Who perceives and responds
In tenderhearted compassion
And though I don’t often get to say so
I thought I’d let her know
Before she turns 21
That

I can’t imagine those 2 years without you
And all the support you gave to me
All the things we all went through
Teachers, classmates, the dreaded A’s
When the urgency of the present
Was so overwhelming
That we’d never imagined how things’d be today
But here we are
2006, 5th of May

Thank you for calling me that night
When I was at my wits end and in tears
Though you couldn’t see, over the phone
Thank you for sending those flowers
Though you couldn’t be there that day
Y’know, I never loved flowers till then
Thank you for calming me down
And putting up with my paranoia and insecurity
That gave me the courage to face talentime
The most fun I’ve had in my life
Thank you for the day-to-day
In our all-too-short time in AJ

Perched on the brink of adulthood
You’re already, have always been, independent
Perhaps now we learn how to depend
On God, and family, and friends
Don’t be sad, be happy, today
That’s how we’d want you to be
We miss you, and we’ll see each other again soon

Though my prose is rather verbose
All I really wanted to say
Was
Happy Birthday
=)
