I Miss You On Your Birthday

I Miss You On Your Birthday

I miss you on your birthday,
Not only for your smile,
But for the piece of me that's gone,
Left within your care.

I'm in an empty hallway
And have been for awhile,
Gazing inwardly towards home,
Neither here nor there.

How quickly we've turned distant!
The days pass by like years.
How could friends so inseparable
So soon seem so apart!

How imprecise the instant
Held hostage by my tears!
Though Time may seem insatiable,
I have you in my heart.

I'm sorry I can't be there on your birthday
On your vary important day.
You know baby that I love you,
And you know that my love for you is true.
