Excitement grabbed upon her chest
At the early glimpse of dawn
Sixteen sweet years into her life
A picture so colorfully drawn
"What is your wish?" she's often asked
By her family and friends
"To spend it with the ones I love,
Together," was what she said
Alas, it was not meant to be
The celebration premature
A blissful day turned bittersweet
When he walked out the door
One by one, her plans took off
To roads she can't assume
Surreptitious friends had led her home
Beckoning to her room
The door glowed yellow from within
For a reason she can't surmise
She slowly opened her bedroom door
Gasping in surprise
Petals were strewn across the floor
Air thick of roses' scent
A record spinned melancholic tunes
With lyrics truly meant
"Happy birthday", he whispered soft
Love in his ocean eyes
Into his tender arms, she fell
Her sweet birthday surprise |
Submission Name: Happy Birthday
