He was like a simple gift

His eyes as bright as wrapping paper 

On Christmas Eve

They were my favourite things

And I could stare at them all night

But when he turned his head 

And all that was left 

Was his curly brown hair

I remembered that Christmas will always

Eventually end

But then your birthday comes around

And those eyes reappear

Although the colour has changed

Just like the wrapping paper

You welcome these new eyes

Hoping not to lose them

But the next day will always come

Along with a bag full of crumbled wrapping paper
