I wish it was more than a happy birthday

I wish we could be more

I want to get excited when we see each other

I want to know more than just your birthday

What did you wish for?

I wish that I was yours and you were mine

Not in the suffocating way

Just simple love

the soft

sweet

love

no butterflies, no nerves

just simple love

Happy birthday is all I can say

To your face at least

Someday I’ll be able to say the truth

How I love your eyes

Your gentle,

pure smile 

The messy mop that sits on your head

The way I lose my breath for a second when you come in my line of vision

Nothing noticeable enough for others to know

But I notice it

I wish it was more than a happy birthday
