Girl you’ve been gone for quite a while;
It’s your birthday again in 2 days time;
A day where my face shares it’s space with tears and a smile;
Me missing you is no longer your concern but mine, girl this I already know;
I’ll still do what I’ve done every year since since my soul watched you finally up and go;
And every birthday since I’ve celebrated you all on my own;
With a cake,a single candle and a 5th full of Henessy with those songs we used to sing in those days of old;
I still cry every 20th of September and I probably still will long after I’ve grown old;
And even though we no longer talk, you get angry whenever we do;
Everything I say seems to frustrate you;
I no longer try like I used too;
You asked me to leave you be, for once I ain’t thinking about me but what’s important to you;
In 2 days time I’ll blow out that single candle and send that same old wish deep into the night sky;
That you might have a change of heart and mind;
And maybe by chance you’d return to me before I die;
That’s all I really need in my present life;
This love for you will never ever die;
Like a desert rose, against all odds it’s managed to outgrow and survive;
This love was born in heaven and within my broken heart it will reside;
Happy birthday angel of mine, I’ll always love you even beyond the sands of time
