Birthday
My birthday falls four days before yours,
Five years later.
I want to give you a gift,
The gift of love, but you get it from another.
And that’s okay,
You deserve lots of love but,
I always feel a connection with you,
I don’t know if you feel it too,
But I feel as if we are twin flames.
You’re taller than me,
Larger too,
I could wear your shirts like dresses,
If you’d let me.
I want to get you a gift for your birthday,
I want to give myself to you,
In all the ways possible.
I think I love you.
Happy birthday to us.
