[Stanza 1]
Perfect petals punctuate the fabrics yellow blue
silver platters with strawberries strewn across the room
[Stanza 2]
In Zimmerman with sandals on one summer dress to choose
[Stanza 3]
Three girls
eyes rolled
loud laughter
dust specs lit by afternoon
[Stanza 4]
My life is sweet like lemonade now there's no bitter fruit
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
no thought of you
[Stanza 5]
My thoughts have changed
my voice is higher
now I'm over you
[Stanza 6]
No flickering in my head movies
projected in Bellevue

[Stanza 7]
Because I captured the mood of my wish fulfilled
and sailed to Xanadu
[Stanza 8]
The grief that came in waves that rolled I navigated through
[Stanza 9]
The fire from my wish as wind to future trip to Malibu
[Stanza 10]
now everything I have is perfect
nothing much to do
[Stanza 11]
just perfect florals
green embroidered chairs
one dress to choose
Because I captured the mood of my wish fulfilled
and sailed to Xanadu

The grief that came in waves that rolled I navigated through
[Stanza 9]
The fire from my wish as wind to future trip to Malibu
