Yes, my dear, today’s your birthday.

Yes, my dear, I cannot forget this day.

Shall I not call you, you may never know.

Yet this eats me up from inside if I don’t.

It’s been twelve years since

We were real friends.

With a gap of six years when we were not in touch,

I would remember you this day,

Simply because it is your birthday.

I tracked our paths back to six years hence.

I came into your life all at once,

Surprised me, surprised you.

Yet miles separated me from you.

Perchance to dream to see people of a distant past.

Perchance the hour we met five years ago could only last.

You walked away with my friend in your mind.

I stood there watching you walk away with the thought.

Winds don’t stop, they move on, no place they sought.

I’m just like that, I bear no regrets and I’ve come a long way.

Despite no contact over two years now, it is your day today.

I shall put aside hurt feelings of a long lost love,

Clear my throat, for I am all grown up now.

Past millions of faces, yet yours is one to treasure.

I do not think I know you anymore, I’ve come a long way.

Distance can not matter, I’ve always been the wind.

I call you up so cheerily, yet the sarcasm rules over me.

I only wish you in a sentence, but your guilt over-rules you.

You tell me we will meet this year, I let out a sarcastic laughter.

It hurts me as much for white lies soothe so well.

I tell you we may never meet and there’s no need to lie.

You get ruffled up as you notice I cannot pretend anymore.

You say you will remember, yet you do not even know for sure.

You do not wish me on special occasions, is your memory at loss?

For you, I may be a cloud, but surely you must realise…

With time to come, the wind’s tempest will die,

And out of the ashes of a dead flame, there will rise,

A whirlwind so strong, my eyes will be blind.

The thought makes me smile, sarcastically once again.

And I know this is the only day I hear your beloved voice.

We will part ways, I’m taking a unique trail, a unique choice.

Don’t you worry, when the world falls asleep.

When there’s no one around to hear you weep.

I hold your true soul and as promised a heart to keep.

Twelve years back, you asked me to promise you.

Come back to me, I cannot love another, any other but you.

With years over our heads, you’re presently drunk with pride.

And now my pain and sarcastic laughter I no longer hide.

We were once friends, I still remember you….

A younger me, a younger you,

Take my word, sincerely now….

More years will pass, We will meet again…

Twenty years hence,

An older me, an older you

We will be real friends once again.

As I shall hold you close to the tempest’s heart.

We’ll rebuild our relationship from the start.

Yes, my dear, today’s your birthday.

Yes, my dear, I cannot forget this day.

Dear Mo, Wishing you a very happy Birthday!
