its your birthday today,
and there is so much
i want to say to you
but there is only so little
i can put into words
because i can’t speak
when it comes to you
i can’t think straight
i can only think of
the beating of your heart
the day you fell asleep
on me, or the feeling of
my hand in yours.  
all i can say right now
is happy birthday.
i wish you stayed.
