<p>Another year briskly it’s time again,<br />
How age catches outruns our each day.<br />
On not how each candle adds to date,<br />
But on our virgin meet 27 shinings away. </p>
<p>5 and 2 months; resemblance to yesterday,<br />
Though blink of eye, yours vividly remain.<br />
I wonder if the flowers its’ scent will one day,<br />
Be erased; forgotten, our Time in some place.</p>
<p>Know not when this silence of summer’s night fade,<br />
My memories they bring me to that very first fate.<br />
And before Time its habit to slip away,<br />
This year once again, wishings; a Happy Birthday.</p>

Joyful gaiety due none can take away.

<p>Have a blast; some merriment this day.<br />
Joyful gaiety due none can take away.<br />
And to you all festives will surely give way,<br />
For it be for you that these galas grace.</p>
<p>Though these words replace not how much I have to say,<br />
You of all will know what needn’t be displayed.<br />
It is in times like these when I distanced, I pray:<br />
Longstanding wishes &#038; Happy Birthday!</p>

<p>Miraculous it may seem,<br />
Fate works its ways in us beings.<br />
For never did I imagine could be,<br />
What I seek’d in front of me.</p>
<p>Once I hanker’d and once I did receive,<br />
Paints of memories and etch’d it did.<br />
An innocent Romeo &#038; Juliet story,<br />
Coincidences in most everything.</p>
<p>Like the end of tragic Love stories,<br />
Too ours perhaps guileless and naïve.<br />
But these flowers its’ scent can’t be erased,<br />
Even long after they’re gone we had our Time in some place.</p>

<p>Choices not apparent the always,<br />
Deceivable most times the case,<br />
If be uninvolved so snap smooth the first place,<br />
Then what of choice would be it in dawning preface?</p>
<p>How we then make verdict of it all?<br />
Consensus concord a volition pray.<br />
For some in haste and foolhardy made,<br />
Regrettable woeful will afflict its place.</p>
<p>Bassanio too was worriment engaged,<br />
For dependent was Portia on his take.<br />
Should gold, silver or lead be his box picked?<br />
Should he cull a coward pick?</p>
<p>As stairs of sand they wear upon their chins,<br />
The beard of Hercules and all their fancy things.<br />
But inward with their milk&#8217;d white livers,<br />
So too the precious metal boxes contain.<br />

<p>After all, this was where I first saw you in white angelic.<br />
The place I picked you up from for our first date.<br />
The place I thought I would see the sweetest thing to my eyes each every day.<br />
The place which stayed the one who took my last true love breath away.</p>
<p>At this place I hold much lovely memories but also pain.<br />
That I would hurt someone and disappoint her till this day.<br />
At this place, never the same it will be.<br />
At this place, they soon will tear down; cease to exist.</p>
<p>But at this place, though no longer soon be;<br />
Will stay the same in heart and mind; like you be to me.<br />
For I to you, believe you still say the same;<br />
That you be a holder of past “begone” memories.</p>
