I Miss You

Still a girl
I see you as
Small and fragile as can be
A fight we had a year ago
Now seems silly to me

A true friend wouldn't forget my birthday
I tell myself over again
A card, a note, an email even
Signed 'Love Always, Jen'

So I decided to hold a grudge
And let our friendship go astray
But now it seems you may be in trouble
Another friend told me so today

I'm beginning to wonder if there's something I can do
To set things right once more
Another month and I'll be home
Maybe I'll just show up at your door

Hopefully with one long look
We'll remember all that we've been through
I know you won't forget my birthday again
September is when your baby is due
