occasionally i'll look to see how you're doing.
but it just makes me sad
to see you can be happy without me,
because i can't be happy without you.

d.l.b.

oh my goodness gracious
you're the cutest
you make me so happy
and i just don't know
what my life would consist of
if you weren't in it

d.l.b.

i bought a ukulele yesterday.
i'm so excited to play.
my hands are much too small for a guitar.

d.l.b.

i thought you had forgotten about me.
so my heart leaped when i discovered you didn't.
i had forgotten about you for a bit.
but then everything came back.

d.l.b.

the place where all my wishes would come true,
would be in a little apartment in new york city
with you
we would stay up late
laughing
and talking
and life would be absolutely wonderful
but look at where we are,
and where we want to go
five years is a long time
but you're my best friends
and i'm the happiest i've ever been

d.l.b.

there was a mouse in my math classroom today.
i saw it run across the floor.
it reminded me of myself.
scared.
confused.
worried.
poor little mouse.

d.l.b.

today's your birthday.
you're so wonderful, did you know that?
god knows if you'll ever see this.
i feel like i'm being pushed away by you.
but maybe it's just me.
happy birthday.

d.l.b.
