Happy birthday love, it’s once again your day
To make merry and throw the past year away
I hope you find that our times spent together  
Were as they were to me, worth more than time itself
For what else holds more value than what we share?
We have found each other in Love’s tendrils, ensnared
In this entanglement our growth was fostered
Now we are as volumes of beloved tales upon a shelf;

Growing old as dust collects upon our souls
I swear upon this life, I will refute what I am told
We are eternal, immortal and invulnerable,
and this feeling we call love shall never grow dull

I wish to apologize for all of my shortcomings
My heart, now a marionette, pull these strings,
Take the reins, reign over me.
I wish to never again feel sovereignty, 
For I am nothing without my queen.
