Words from the Heart

It's Your Birthday Soon

A/n- I had a friend pass away and this was a poem I wrote for him near his birthday. He was very dear to my heart, and I am just now getting the courage to post this. This is him in the video, and it was of his last ones. 

Dear Jacob, 

It's your birthday soon

And on the day I am writing this

It's about a week away.

You would've been 16. 

I remember how we became friends.

It was the September of 2015

I believe.

We bonded over a project then a shared music interest. 

It's your birthday soon

And I don't know how to celebrate

Maybe I won't. 

It wouldn't be right without you. 

I don't know if I gave you a gift last year. 

I hope I did. 

It's your birthday soon

And you've gone less than a year. 

I still miss you. 

But now you're gone.

It's your birthday soon

And I wish you could have seen it. 

I wish I could hug you and give you a gift. 

I know Dirk misses you.

It's birthday soon 

And I know it's not mine 

But if I may steal your wish

Well I wish you were still here.
