happy birthday

to the love of my life.

for your birthday, on this day when i feel that i am so broke that i can't buy you anything, but know that that feeling is misguided because we both know that money can't buy love and happiness, and yet it still makes me feel bad
(ah, the guilt of our society)

for your birthday, on this day what i wish is that everybody could see how extraordinarily talented and intellgent and just how fantastic you really are.

for your birthday, on this day i want you to know that some day everybody will hear your music, will see your photos, will marvel at your abilities and be awed by you. like i am awed by you.

i am so fortunate to be able to lie in bed each night and wake up every morning next to you.
xo.
