I wish I’d seen you blow those candles out.”

I had plans for today. Big ones.
I have big plans for today. Different ones.
“These days I haven’t been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn’t call.”

Definitely didn’t think I’d be out of state, starting my new life.
I would say more. A LOT more.
But I really, honestly want you to have a wonderful day.
And I’ll make it that way, however I can.
