I've deeply ingrained in my mind
My own birthday last year
Mom wanted to cry
It was just me and her
It's okay mom, my siblings have a life
And I'm too used to being on my own
It's okay mom, dad forgets
He forgets a lot these days
I'm sorry for glaring at him
I'm sorry for not accepting him
I'm sorry, I know he makes you happy
I'm sorry, I'm glad you've got somebody new now
I've deeply ingrained in my mind
That afternoon of August eighth
At the beach wearing a long dress
Because I'm too self-conscious for anything less
Seeing you far at the distance playing in the water with him
Wondering why I felt so empty
Even though you seemed happy
I felt empty I felt alone
I'm sorry that your efforts are not working
But to you I'll smile
I don't want you to worry about my problems
I've grown over the years seeing you cry 24/7
It's your time to smile
It's okay, be happy for both of us
But I'm sorry for still hating you for leaving.
