Today’s your birthday… <br />I never paid attention to your birthday before, <br />Never really cared, <br />It never really meant anything to me. <br />I never thought to call, <br />Never thought to send a card or present, <br />Never thought to visit and make memories that I could remember forever, <br />Never even knew it was your birthday. <br />I always knew you were there, <br />But didn’t think much else. <br />But today’s your birthday. <br />Now you’ve been gone for almost a year. <br />And each 365 days of this year. <br />I have thought of you, <br />Thought that if I could have just have 1 more day for you, <br />I would call, <br />I would send a present, <br />I would visit and make all the memories in the world, <br />I would count down the days till your birthday, <br />I would be with you, and realize, <br />You mean the world to me, <br />Always did, always will. <br />And without you, <br />Everything changes. <br />So now I say for the first time… <br />Happy Birthday.<br /><br />Roxy Gonro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-34/
