Happy Birthday

Like an apology unheard
Falling slowly on deaf ears,
Or the never written word
That someone special longs to hear.
Like existence of two kinds -
Is there some other life than this?
Or just a meeting of the mind
To be sealed with a kiss.
Like feelings left unshared
When emotions must be shown,
When you wonder if they cared
And whose care you really own.

Do you worry when there's thunder?
Do you go when someone calls?
Will you let life pull you under -
Be another one that falls?
When your term of life is over
And the memories are gone
We will recall forever
All the things that we did wrong.
I can't go on pretending
Though it's cutting me in two.
My end is my beginning
And it all began with you.
