ALL ABOUT YOU

It is your birthday,

your smile appears in a flash

warming up the cold spot in my soul,

giving me comfort,

giving me peace of mind knowing you are still with me.

Here is why I do think you never left,

when I am a little down, thirsty of your presence

in need to organize my thoughts and calm my nerves

I drink a diet Pepsi

the bittersweet flavor,

the fizz tingling on my lips,

reminds me of your kiss.

When my self-esteem hits rock bottom

I take a hot shower until my skin turns pink,

and the fog reaches the ceiling

and the mirror starts to cry

I turn the water to cold

this switch is like a start jumping and old car.

For a while, I kept a bottle of water in the car,

bubble gum inside the glove compartment

even if all I drink is coffee all day long

and I don’t clean my car as I used to.

I am learning to text on my cell phone

even when I know I am ruining my grammar

by braking full sentences into small pieces

and I want to LOL about my stupidity.

For no reason at all

I keep asking for mustard in a restaurant

I don’t use it, but it keeps me company.

Baby, it is all about you,

you never left

and even if I don’t see you anymore

you are here with me

in every inch of my body

in every cell of my brain.

Happy birthday to you.
