my rose,

i turned eighteen today!!

you should turn eighteen next tuesday. a week and a day after i did.

i can't help but think of all the birthdays you'll miss and all the christmases i'll endure without you.

june 15. in another life that day might've meant nothing to me. i might've gone about my day like normal. but i can't anymore.

because you were born on june 15. on june 15 i was given the best gift the world has ever given me and i didn't even know it.

you'd always liked your birthday, which you thought was mildly self-centered but blaise insisted it wasn't.

i met you the day you turned five. you had a cake decorated with flying edible books. nerd.

i believe i've untainted some of our memories. i look back on things i used to look back on with malice and hatred and i laugh. my rosy.

i'll always love you.

for evermore,
your pansy
