Today is his birthday
If only I could wish it happy
Or sing it to him
But he isn't here

We met on the phone
He said his name was James
We talked every night
But now he isn't here

I do believe I loved him
He used to call me bunny
He doesn't call me bunny anymore
Because he isn't here

He called me on Decmeber 17th
To tell me he was leaving
He didn't know where, but I do
I know that he isn't here

I wish I could tell him
One last time, with tears
All that he really meant to me
But he isn't here

He called again on March 3rd-
-My birthday
He was in Wisconsin then
He wasn't here

He sang me Happy Birthday
I cried the whole time
Then the call got disconnected
And he still isn't here

I haven't heard from him since
I wish I knew where he was
So I could sing him Happy Birthday
And tell the man who isn't here that I love him.

A heartfelt poem...it saddens me to see you hurt like this.  I guess absence does make at least some hearts grow fonder...

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."
