HAPPY BIRTHDAY

To my dearest friend,

Lack of courage to say this in person

Retreating to my paper and pen to tell my tale

Time and time over

I’ve seen beauty that blinds the soul

Beauty that deafens the heart

But you truly are a phenomenon

The crescent curve of your lips leaves me dazed

And the perfect drop of your hair like fine spun gold

With the radiance of your skin

Oh how you glow about like a human sun

The crystal sparkles that lay awake in your eyes like a fleet of stars at night

With their bright brown gaze

Warming up my spirit all the time

Getting lost in them each time I stare

Wondering how I could look you in the eye and not stutter in my speech

Little wonder why I’m always left speechless around you

Admiring your beauty each time we meet

With the way you laugh a truly precious site to behold

Your smiles constantly sending shivers down my spine

Your facial expressions when frustrated keep you cute as a bunny

And your lovely side eyes whenever I annoy you

No matter how many times I pick on you

You never leave me hanging

Never seen a person who’d prefer the company of books to anything else

All adding to your adorable yet annoying side

Barely know you but I feel I have a lifetimes understanding of you

A special friend you’ll always be to me

Keeping me in check at all times

So this is my gift to you

My unending friendship

My shoulder to lean on, cry on, drool on, anything on

My dry jokes to keep you smiling

My trash words to annoy you

My stomach to punch when you feel uneasy

And my mouth ready to tease and stroke with gladness in my heart

I could go and on then this would officially become an awkward birthday note

Already seems too deep

So I’ll just stop there

 Happy birthday…have fun JJJJJJJJJJJJJ
