Happy Birthday to You

July 17th.
I was reminded of you today.
And then a pang of pain resounded in my heart
The patch ripping open for a chance moment
As I thought of you

Where are you now? I wonder

3 years and counting...
But what does it matter?
You are not who I thought you were
You never were
Could you ever be?

But for today
I wish you well
Good tidings
Health and happiness
from the ones you left behind

Happy Birthday
