There's not an hour that passes
That I don't think of you
How far we've come together
How much our love has grew

This poem is a token
Of the love I feel inside
Of honesty and friendship
And feelings I can't hide

Forgive me for the things I've done
And the things I've yet to do
Just know that I am happiest
When I'm alone with you

May you have a Happy Birthday
With all your family near
May God protect and keep you
Throughout the coming year

My wish is for your happiness
For the love of someone true
And even if it isn't me
I'll always be in love with you
