Description
In my heart is a tiny notebook, filled with memories
Of this lovely month, your first photos with me
In its pages are secret, sweet cream petals
Of a rose you once gave, among a bracelet of metals

Happy Birthday! And thus you are older than I
Yet fate brought us closer, no witness dare deny
In class seats, in group works and even class duties
Both expressed tenderness at these curious myst'ries

But alas there's no rose with a thornless stem
I soon learned how you'd fallen for a friend
For a whole year; just five months before we'd met
You shifted to me; that sting I shan't forget

I felt like a monster for robbing another
Of a love she'd built with patience; so I longed to meet her
What great friends we became! We are twins, I dare say
I vowed to let her love you, though I felt it ache everyday
