My Ode To Thee

We used to be so close,
Such great friends indeed.
Oft didst we commune together
In such sweet harmony.

You meant so much to me
More than I knew then
And now...I miss you terribly
My heart, it aches within.

So much separates us now
So many miles of ocean blue.
We are separated even by the hours
But, alas, naught can I do.

I must resign myself to this simple fate:
A life that's void of thee
Until the time when we can meet again
On the other side of that great sea.

But wait! What's that I heard?
We can commune once more?
Just the thought my heart doth stir
As I wait for thee by the door.

But as with all good things
A high price must be paid
But the pleasure that you will doubtless bring
Chases thoughts of that price far away.

I can see you now, we are so near
Almost touching you, my heart doth race
And as I hold you one single tear
Slides finds its way down my face.

My lips have touched thee now
After so many months apart.
I don't understand why, or how
You've found your way to my heart.

I know that your love is completely true
And this bond could not be severed
For you are the perfect, mysterious brew
I so fondly call Dr. Pepper.


Written for my 2,20€ (app. $3.00) can of Dr. Pepper from an American grocery store in Paris. It's a ridiculous price, but occasionally worth it. :)
