your birthday was so close
to my favorite holiday
and you decided to leave all of this
so close to my birthday
that would have been
a really shitty present
if you had intended it
but I know I wasn't even close
to being on your mind, then
I wish I had known
what had been on your mind, then
not sure if I could have made you stay
not sure if I could have offered
something that would have
changed your mind
and what a fucked up place
to leave from
I mean Omaha of all cities
but I guess that wouldn't have
mattered much, then
I know not a lot
mattered much, then
except for the pain
the inescapable emptiness
of course I'm just guessing
but just in case you can hear
what I'm telling you now
just in case by some chance
these words get to you
I know the world misses you
and that it's not better without you
even if you thought that, then
and if nothing else
I would have wanted to call
you friend
