I just want to take a moment to wish my boi the happiest of birthdays!
You came into my life like a breath of fresh air and turned my world completely upside down. I hope that this year brings us even closer. I wish for you a year full of joy and love, as you've given this to me so freely that I'm constantly in awe of you. I love you, mine, always and forever! Happy Happy Birthday!

You did say, need me less and I'll want you more.
I'm still shellshocked at needing anyone,
used to being used to it on my own.
It won't be me out on the tiles till four-
thirty, while you're in bed, willing the door
open with your need. You wanted her then,
more. Because you need to, I woke alone
in what's not yet our room, strewn, though, with your
guitar, shoes, notebook, socks, trousers enjambed
with mine. Half the world was sleeping it off
in every other bed under my roof.
I wish I had a roof over my bed
to pull down on my head when I feel damned
by wanting you so much it looks like need.
