Birthday Moments

Blow out your candles
and eat your cake.
Let me just watch you
as you clean your plate
because this is a moment
I never want to forget.

I remember the day we met
and how our eyes locked.
It was then that I knew
my life wouldn't be the same.

I don't know if you felt it, too
but it's a snapshot
of our lives
I carry with me in my heart
and it sustains me
in the darkest dark
and sings to me in the light.

Close your eyes
and blow out your candles
because I don't know
how long we'll get,
but I'm holding your hand
and you're holding mine
and this is a moment
I'll never forget.
