Happy Birthday To A Lost Love

I told you "Happy Birthday,"

You smiled and said, "You remembered."

It took me back.

 

October 9th of 2009,

Was the day that I first met you.

I was at the Bridge with the girls,

Then up strode this guy that I wished I knew.

 

Dorky, yet enchanting,

You made me laugh and rant.

It was the best night I'd had in a long time,

And all the way home I danced.

 

I saw you at school after that,

And I felt myself falling for you.

Our friend's romances started happening,

Maybe we'd happen too.

 

I played you piano,

You smiled at me,

I caught my breath

And messed up they keys,

But you still thought it was good.

 

On June 5, of 2010,

You asked to become mine.

How could I say no,

When I wished it all the time?

 

You told me that I was beautiful,

Then you kissed my face,

In a world of beautiful scenery,

I was in the greatest place.

 

We danced slowly to Melancholy Hill,

And you watched Titanic with me,

You helped me make Chicken Marsala,

I thought we were meant to be.

 

You told me that you loved me,

And I felt my heart grow.

That's when I really began,

to let my love show.

 

On October 5th of 2010,

I gave you my virginity

I understood euphoria

When I saw your eyes on me.

 

Two years we spent together,

And they were the best in my life,

Even in our fake little wedding,

Where I became your wife.

 

You really were my medicine,

Making me feel alive,

And every time I looked in your eyes,

I saw a place where angels thrive.

 

I gave you myself in every way,

And I'll never want it back.

Even after bitter words,

And the moments we attacked.

 

I never knew a heart like mine,

Could ever love so much.

Imagine the person I would be,

If we never shared that touch.

 

The hardest day of my life

Was the day you walked away,

I thought that it wasn't for good,

But I couldn't make you stay.

 

The funny part of the story,

Is that I hadn't let you go.

The girl that you had loved and lost,

Let her true colors show.

And I'm still here waiting for you

 

Now, as I tell you "Happy Birthday,"

My special little tourniquet,

You smile and say, "You remembered."

But how could I forget?
