Happy Getting Old Day! (For Jess)

Dearest birthday girl,

have an amazing day.
Wish that I could
be with you. But,
instead I'll say;

baggy jumpers and
cosplay costumes,
cute boys and girls
I happen to meet.

Snapchat stories and
scenic views,
bears to hug
and comfort me.

Frizzy red hair and
eye makeup,
films to cry to
music to sing to (with you.)

Scats in bushes we
said we'd left behind,
jellyfish on beaches
the smell of smoke.

Things that remind me of you.

Photos in my mind,
my walls, and my camera.
First friend, last friend,
and best friend.

Enjoy being old x
