just i

we were good friends
sylvia and i
that's a simple fact.

don't ask me when we met
or what we did
i don't know
but whatever it was
we always had fun.
sylvia and i.

we had our parties
our jokes
our pranks
that no one else understood
of course.

we were the bert and ernie
of life
the sylvester and tweety
sylvia and i.

we had it all
life was great
and we were happy-
children dancing
in the meadow
on a sunny day.

we were happy
and life was good.
sylvia died.

just i.
