Happy Birthday
Another day
Another,
where life isn’t fair
and your presence is
anywhere but here
So many questions to ask
like,
how do does it feel
to age and still be filled with fear?
Do you miss me?
it doesn’t matter
though, do you think of me?
that does
Doesn’t matter if your heart wrenches or skips
but does something when my name is said
Do you still lie to yourself the most
or are you over that?
Do you still loath?
you underachievement’s I mean?
it doesn’t matter
though, did you learn the art of drowning for someone?
that does
doesn’t matter if you do drown or swim back to the top
it does that it happened
Happy birthday
I’ll love you with your presence
I’ll love you without
I’ll love you if you love someone else
and I’ll love you every second you are gone
