This song has haunted me since it first appeared in 1973. It has always been associated with a girl from my high school days, who also had an unusual name - Cozette. I never got up the courage to ask her out on a date, but I knew and she knew that we had a connection. She was pretty and kind, but a bit of a wallflower (as was I). We were clearly attracted to each other, but we never managed to break out of our hesitation to really connect (never played in tune). In those days, the guy had to make the first move and I was not bold enough to break through our polite wall. Who knows the real intentions of the songwriter, but I always interpreted the line about "June" as referring to marriage or a long-term bond. "Catching all the words..." I wanted to have a romantic relationship with her, but I overthought it and let it slip past. In remembering her through this song, I have felt strong regret, but I have learned not to idealize "our" relationship. After 40 years, I located her with help from the internet and briefly considered contacting her (she is married as am I), just to try and purge myself of the regret for not acting. I have written several letters which I never sent. I will not act this time because we have both moved on with our lives and there would be little purpose in revisiting this moment in our lives together. It would be too confusing to reveal my feelings after so much time has passed. Clearly this song is about regrets and I will always regret Cozette. In my fantasies, she would have provided me some stability at a time I was very emotionally vulnerable. But - I did survive, even though she was not "mine for a day".
