it's almost my birthday

its almost my birthday
they ask what I will be up to
I smile and say nothing probably sleep all day
but the truth is I think I'll visit you that day
we did make plans to hang out after all
yes you may not be here
but I did say I was going to visit you one day
I'm still scared to
to face reality that you are gone
to stand in from of your grave side
and try not to cry
but we did make a promise to be together on my birthday
It hurts my heart
it fills with pain
knowing I'm turning 22 and your not going to be by my side
to celebrate my birthday
and what about yours?
I was planning on making you a cake then putting your face in it
how can I do that now?
it will just leave a mess on your grave side
I'll still make you that cake
but it's almost my birthday
will you show up in my dreams?
I will try to see you that day
my heart still fills with agony and pain
knowing I wont see that smile on your face
knowing the wish on my candles wont ever come true
it's almost my birthday a birthday I will be spending without you
