Today is your birthday
Yes, I remembered
I've spent two weeks
Deciding whether or not
To send you a card
I didn't
Because I would've made
A fool of myself
An even bigger one
Then the one you knew
After four years
(Let's just cast aside
that one, obligatory meeting)
It would seem obsessive and sad
Maybe it is
But you were clear
In your actions
Less in your words
What never was
Is over
As I write this
I realize you won't
Be reading it
That's ok though
This one is for me
After years of
"what if's", "how come's"
and "why not's"
It is time
To move on
Until next year
Forget what I said
Have a fantastic Birthday
Congratulations
