Happy Birthday ±

I can't remember your birthday, but I think that's a good thing
It's either today or maybe 2 days from today, or 2 days ago
Regardless though, it doesn't matter anymore
Your age means nothing
Your name it's irrelevant
Your face is a stranger's face
If today is the day though I hope it's a great one, I guess
But only because you've had a rough year
With only a handful of times that we see eye to eye I want to take this time to act like adults
We'll say, "How do you do?!" and "How's the family?!"
But I already know the answer to that, I'm sorry
You'll ask me about mine but won't really care either way
I always wonder about your brother more so than you actually
I hope that he stays left instead of turning right like you did
November will come quickly,
We'll shuffle into a dingy part of town with everyone we tried to forget
Standing shoulder to shoulder all throwing our pennies violently to quench our thirst,
But more so our curiosity 
I'll walk around maneuvering through idiotic conversations and awkward greetings, pretending not to look for you and you'll do the same
I promise to be nice this time
I promise I'll lie to you
