Today is her birthday

Today is Rebecca Baruch her birthday – she would have turned 25 ♡
I remember so many of her bday parties, especially the one where we made pizza and watched 4 (!) movies in one night and the one where we played a murder mystery game – she gave me the role of the marching band boy so I could live out some My Chemical Romance dreams
I wrote a poem for this day, and also wish to share some of the poems I wrote for her before ♡
