no word nor verse can make it plain

no word nor verse can make it plain
the bonds that bind you to me,
but to call you friend? -- such poor cliché --
for "friend" indeed is tired and plain,

but on this day in September
-- a splendid day may it favor to be --
should you find a few moments free
do read this verse -- if so, so plain --
as testament of my love for you
-- my dearest "not friend, friend".

i claim this day as yours alone
to rest, to play or to simply be;
may each which follow bear you no pain
and brim with sparkle and possibility.

so happy birthday, my dearest friend
-- why are you so far away from me?
