So after the day of my girlfriend’s birthday
Only one though disturbed me and it won’t leave
This may be your last birthday is your life, which is today
This is every young woman’s favorite birthday, the Sweet 16
All I would have wanted to do today was simply be there for you
Make you smile and enjoy the day you were brought into this world
All I wanted to do was to see you once more, but there’s nothing I can do
If I could teleport from place to place, I definitely will use it to see you, if I could
I hope that this thought isn’t popping into your head as well as mine
Because I can’t imagine what today will be like in exactly one year
If only you were still here with me and we had an indefinite amount of time
But soon there will be a time, creeping up on us quickly, where you will no longer be here
Think positive I constantly have to tell my aching mind
I have to look forward to the future, putting the past behind
So, yesterday (12-12) was my birthday and I turned 16 and today is my girlfriends birthday (12-13) and she's also now 16. She lives over one thousand miles away and I haven't seen her in almost seven months. She has cancer and was told in late August she has only has 6-12 months to live. So after saying that, while in school today, a thought popped into my head. This may be my girlfriends last birthday... Just the thought of losing her devastates me, and knowing that if this is in fact her last birthday, I'm not there to spend it with her. I really would do anything to spend this day with her...
