birthday

Grief

i talk to your picture sometimes and it'll never be the same thing or close to the real thing but it helps a little bit. a picture can't jump from one subject to another in the blink of an eye or make comments that left me in tears from laughing. a picture can't give me advice or a hug, it can't reassure me that i can handle whatever comes. i can't tease a picture for being an old man which is what you would be if you were still here. a picture can't answer a phone or act like an idiot because it's your birthday today. i'd give anything to be able to spend it with you but (in the words of Def Leppard) all i have is a photograph. 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

happy heavenly birthday to my bro, you're missed every single day
