On your 20th birthday; You deserve the happy that comes before the birthday, Because you've made it yet Another day, Another month, Another year. So I hope the liquor tastes a little bit better, Maybe it's sweeter now that you're older. I can almost taste the adolescence that still stains your lips. But you're not done growing up just yet my dear. Oh what a world you have yet to discover, A world that can only be found through innocent mistakes and coming of age. Each year you'll see things a little differently, But I pray to God you never take it for granted. Don't you know, I think you're beautiful? But I won't compare your eyes to the vast ocean; I won't compare your body to the galaxies That's all been done before, So I'll give you a little something more:
Flood my mind with your deep dark secrets; Let me explore every piece of you, Let me devour your thoughts as if they were my own, Let me be better than your bedroom walls- Whom you whisper all your problems to. I won't leave you in silence and force you to swallow your words back down; I'll listen to your thoughts; good or bad And if your very soul drips with despair I'll lend you a piece of mine to help pass the time.
Enough of the ****** poetry; Take a ******* shot for me I wish I could be there to catch you As the lines become more and more blurry And your body starts to waver back and forth as you try to get from point A to B I wont be able to hold your hair back When all the liquor you've drank decides to steal the lime light; But I'm sure you'll be in good company- A best friend to tie your hair and rub your back So with that said... Happy birthday, beauty I'm proud of you for making it this far.
