on your 32nd birthday, baby if you happen to see this, maybe in case you never do, it’s what you said you always wanted, really so you know i was listening, not simply playing at being oh, so into you just starting today, just for you i’m keeping my wishes my hugs, my kisses and all my love safe from you.
Happy Birthday, Mentalie (belated) - I hope it was a great one. Sorry it took me awhile to get here, my brain got fried along the way. May 32 be a good year. :)
