A Birthday With You Gone

The absence of you is still very raw, It feels inside like I'm fighting a war: I long to remember you without sorrow or sighs, But when you are on my mind there are tears in my eyes. I try to remember the silly things we did, Acting like children and giggling like kids. There's an ache in my heart that wont let me though, I know that the ache is because I love you so. 55 years ago today, A special soul graced this earth. 23rd of December was the day of your birth. So wherever you are I say happy birthday to you. And I send love and all my hugs too. I know that missing you will continue without end, My beautiful, rare, irreplacable friend .
