Birthday Wishes

The perpetual process.

Birthday Wishes fill my mind

It needs to be perfect, one of a kind

But I can't think of just what I will say

When I blow out the candles on my special day

 

I need to pick a topic, I suppose

But even that might take until the day's close

I think, I wonder; what should I pick?

What should be the object of my birthday wish

 

There are places i'd like to go; people i'd like to meet

World peace would be nice; a life supply of candy sweet

But what do i really want...most of all?

I can't possibly decide, it's too tough a call

 

And then so suddenly all my thoughts are on you

How it will word, i have no clue

But i know that it must involve you

 

I love you and i want you to love me as well

I've loved you so long, but you could never tell

And when first told i cared, you hadn't believed

I might as well just have kept my secret concealed

 

One day I decided it was time for you to know

I brought my friend along...I was too nervous to tell you so

And then you knew, you finally believed

I felt three years of hiding finally being set free

 

Then when my day came, you couldn't be there

You had a reason, but it still felt like you didn't care

But I was still happy; my party was still fun

But by the time my cake came 'round nearly all my happiness had gone

 

I knew i had to make a wish, but i hadn't had time

To make it perfect, one of a kind

I still couldn't think of just what to say

As I blew out the candles from atop my cake

Wishing only that you were there to make it a  fantastic day.
