every year i spend the week leading up until today thinking
thinking about this day
it finally comes
each year it starts to feel a bit easier
until i hear laughter and warmth of innocent people singing happy birthday
restaurants are bait for birthday parties
while everyone else smiles, i hold back tears
i can’t hold it against them
i know you would want me to smile too
but still it’s hard
i miss you every day of every week of every month of every year
that never changes
the emptiness never changes
but every year, i know you are wishing me the best from above
every year i know you are proud of me and how far i’ve come
every year i get a little stronger
every year on march 1st i mourn a best friend
every year i mourn a beautiful person
every year i mourn my sunshine
but every year gets a little brighter
breathe easy
year i miss you more
every year i realize that things may not be the same but things are okay
a.a.
