A Hasty Apology

Since you, my dear
Are more than a friend
It’s only right
That I make amends.
I forgot to call
There’s no defense.
It’s a day that deserves
Remembrance.
But keep in mind
As the years advance
Like rolling marbles
So does the chance
Of senility,
Greater abdominal girth,
And me forgetting
Your date of birth.
But I beg you ma’am
Hate me not!
How can I be blamed
When Orkut forgot?
