For a girl, a friend,
just a whirl, a life's bend

What do I do when lightning strikes,
do I still take you out to sea
When there are more than friendship seals
and butterflies stir havoc in me.

All excited and wanting you so close,
a tiger stalking a leopard, I had to tell
But not what you expected I suppose,
a jester felt good and for a time all seemed well.

But feelings for you still ran so very deep,
reasoning continued to fail and rivers flooding with emotions made me weep
But at the least I found a way to generate energy from that flow,
and directed it to my life-time bad habit and let it go.

Meeting a great bunch of people changed my life's course,
unravelling which waypoints are there because of you, I do not feel any remorse.

For a time not daring to look into your silver eyes for more than a second,
I might catch fire from your golden smile again I reckoned
Your sense of adventure and untamed energy shine wherever you are,
letting all those lucky ones that meet you navigate by your star.

I've been surfing radio waves for songs that could describe the way that I feel,
all what resulted was a blurred vision behind the steering wheel:
If I could make it to the Anglesey coast,
for a brief moment I would be in the arms of the one I love the most.

Now, after all this time, the spell is broken
and the words, put in rhyme, can be spoken.

Happy birthday my dear Justine,
congratulations with your milestone age,
We all know where we have been,
but the future is an unwritten page.
