My Life's Greatest Gift

To my friends, who totally forgot my birthday accidentally…

I am not sure if this is something I should tell you or not 
But obviously I know that I want to tell you this right now
Truth is, for a while I felt ashamed, grief and sorrow on that day
But then, it suddenly  went away. 

I understood something which I can't guess right or wrong.
But most probably it may be right, I thought.
This concept of 'greeting happy birthday on a particular day of every year' 
Seemed to be something empty, but not much dear

It always make me feel more older and older, from where I can't go back 
To my beloved past full of amazing memories, but only can stay looking at that 
I was born several years ago, and that was my real, real bornday
Hey, but I don't totally humiliate wishing happy birthday
 
I see that as a great opportunity where we can show our true gratitudes
And love and care and all heartiest feeling towards  our beloveds   
Also I know, every living being on this earth wish to earn those
So don't measure me as a heathen or a crazy ghost

There’s something I want to say you by and by
About what I believe as the greatest gift of my life
I don't really care about any missing greetings in my side
That’s you my friends, whose love made me cry and cry
