Happy B'Day To You

A cake Lighted candles Cheering friends around they laugh and you join them Flashing cameras Glistening, beautiful gifts... It's full Your world... I should stop wondering why I couldn't find space there It's your B'day It's wonderful time A happy moment, when you blow the candles.. No hesitation, no pauses I see, It was a clean cut which gave you no pain no sign Like I never existed, Like there were no B'days that we celebrated together, that I baked your cake, I lighted your candles, I did stand your side when you blow them... It feels like I was dreaming so real, so touching I might have imagined hallucinations they must be all in my head Or were they real? Please make me understand Was it real? When it seems you never knew me Like I never existed in your world... It takes my breath cause me pain But I'm all glad coz' you seem happy... It doesn't matter that I'm there or not, who holds your hand... To me it matters Your happiness Glow in your eyes When you're happy.... I've given you the best gift I could.. I gave the space in your world to the one who deserves... to the one you love... Happy B'day!!!
