may day (the birthday)

i never realized how much you mean to me
until the day i thought you'd pull your love
away
from me
and i tried to decipher the message
but all the equipment was destroyed
so i made my own
and i make my own 
way
and capture your every move
in a memory melody of poetic justice
and every milestone of love lives in me
(and lately i'm not good with dates)
(and we've only had one date)
so maybe it wasn't a date
but since then, oh my,
how long as it been
since then?
a year
so silently flew past us
all those sweet whispers echoing in my head
all the times you've read my mind
all those everlasting moments of tenderness
that i keep forgetting - 
and i keep living for the present
and i have made a present for you
a gift for the love that has made
every day
since then
my rebirth.
day.
