Happy Birthday16th November 2022by Alaska SpencerIt's my birthday,yet I feelempty Woke up picturing myself next to you Saw the other side of the bed I realised you're not here anymore All I needed was you needing me Our shy hellos turned to my unwilling goodbye We parted ways with hard-hearted words I just want to let you know It took everything in me To let you go and unlove you That's when You penned a soul-stirring message and wished me Happy Birthday It was a vividly colourful Photo album An emotional rollercoaster ride Intoxicating me with memories Heavy eyelids,Heavier thoughts Best left unsaid words Kept me awake all night Ghost of the past resurrected from the grave I never healed from the wounds that you inflicted But I was ready to maimmyself again When I picked up the phone to hear you say my name. Your voice was a melody Sounded like a distant memory We reminisced the old days I cried and cried inside till my eyes went dry Too enervated to resist him Fought back my urge to ask him Can we start over? Give this thing a second chance Had a bittersweet longing for your bear-like hug Hands wrapped around my waist Feels blissful,takes me home I played our songs again Took a trip down the memory lane Tales of beginnings Moment of free will The agonising goodbye "Us" was a happy ending that was never meant to happen Wish I could turn back timeTo live the little episodes We once shared together Because that's all we are left with "The Good Times" A resonating echo of an aesthetically pleasing fairytale Too much has happened Yet it is never enough There's nothing I could do to make you mine again Except to thank you for a good time Staying awake with me till 3AM It was indeed a Happy Birthday.
