Um, dear future me. It's you. Me. That's confusing.
Um, anyway… I just wanted to say that it's our birthday, so I should send you a message from the past. Buon compleanno. That's how you say happy birthday in Italian. I just learned that. Um, anyway. Love you. Is that weird to say?
They say that you’re grown
These feelings go away
Well here’s another year
And I think they’re here to stay
But after what we’ve been through
I’m glad to still have you
Happy birthday kid, here’s to you
(Make a wish. She’s six!)
Look at all the candles
Avoid the fire’s glance
Everyone is here
My 20s they advance
I see London, I see France
I see the child inside me dance
And wouldn’t it it be nice
If life was like a song?
You could make up all the rules
Rewrite anything you want
But since that’s not the case
I’m here for you today
Everything you need
Ask away
Anything
Ok. Um, did we ever leave the city?
Sure did.
Really? Where’d we go?
Lots of places. London, Tokyo, Barcelona
No way.
Yeah way.
Um, did I…?
What?
Did I get pretty?
Not important.
What? You're weird.
Oh. And did we fall in love? And how's Mom and Noni? And hey…where did you go?
They say that you’re grown
These feelings go away
Well here’s another year
And I think they’re here to stay
But after what we’ve been through
I’m glad to still have you
Happy birthday kid, here’s to you
(Happy birthday to you. Hey!)
