Happy Birthday My Love!

 Over the years, when we have had our ups and downs....

When oceans took over land, when rodents kept us up at night... 

The beard hair in the sink

When we were the only constants in our lives... I remember all the reasons we made it

I remember that deep down, we both had the fundamentals right

We wanted to be good human beings

We were both there for the friends who had no other friends... the unpopular loners...

We cared deeply for the betterment of all human life, especially those who were less fortunate than us

We were rewriting history, traditions, and going against society norms

We saw a future together that no one else believed in

Whenever I prayed, I only asked that we be together if it was really for the best

(and yes, like Eesa says, you are funny)

The poems you wrote for me

The breakfasts in bed

The tea

The special moments we shared together

and all the Smarties, which were hard to find in this land

Thanking you will never be enough

Loving you will never do justice

And yes, I pray to be with my whole family in Jannah

where there will only be thicks and no thins

Love you always and happy birthday, my love!
