I'm a year older today
And the greatest gift I received were from loved ones and distant friends
But not from my family
And yet I wonder, is today truly my Birthday?

Over the years, I would stay awake all through the night to see who would make my day special.
I found one but he wasn't family
He is a distant friend
A stalker
He never forgets what birthday's mean to me.
But I guess I don't mean much to my family.

Every Birthday, I wish for something new
A mind blowing surprise
And guess what?
He became an answer to my prayer

But my heart doesn't belong to him and so I can't reciprocate his love

And my only wish for today is LOVE.
