Birthday

I still think of you on your birthday,
don't think that I have forgotten
or that I ever will

But I know that the chapter of you and I
has long passed us by
but I'll still whisper "Happy Birthday"
from a distance
because it's still your day
even though you left me.

So I'll say
"Happy Birthday, Sunshine"
as you blow out your candles hundreds of miles away from home
and I'll close my eyes with a wish of my own;
that you'll think of me in May.
