I was thinking about you on the right day and writing about you on the wrong one. Forgive me.
New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up β copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Happy belated birthday to the woman who deserves a week-long celebration anyway.
I'm late to the party; the party is wherever you are, so I'm hoping it's still going.
Belated wishes β same warmth, slightly delayed delivery, no defects in the product.
I missed yesterday; I won't miss the year. Happy belated birthday, love.
Sorry for the lag β consider this love arriving by mail rather than email, which is honestly more romantic.

Happy belated birthday β the only thing late was the message; everything I feel about you is present tense.
I'd apologize for being late, but I think we both know I'm making it up the rest of the week.
Belated birthday wishes from the man whose memory is bad but whose love is on time.
I'm late, but the size of the apology is going to be impressive β and edible.
Happy belated, sweetheart β the universe gave you an extra day to be celebrated; I just used mine.
I missed the date and not the meaning. Happy belated birthday to my favorite person to be late for.
Belated, but real. The thought was always there; my notifications, less so.
Happy belated birthday β I'm taking this as license to celebrate you twice this year, with cause.
I owe you flowers, a dinner, and at least one very long apology kiss. Acceptable schedule?
Late wishes from someone who thinks about you on time every other day of the year.
Happy belated, love β the candles can be relit, and so can the evening, if you'll let me.
I'm consistently early for things that matter β birthdays, apparently, being the one exception. Forgive me.
Belated birthday hugs, in advance interest, with compounding affection.
Happy belated birthday β the world should give you a grace period anyway; you've earned one.
I'm sorry I was late. I'm not sorry I'm yours. Those balance out, hopefully.
Belated wishes β slower than the post, faster than my excuses, sincere as anything I've ever sent you.
Happy belated, my favorite missed deadline. The deadline is moved; the feelings haven't.
I missed the candles; I won't miss the year. Happy belated birthday β let's start over at dinner.
I rewrote this five times because nothing I put on paper says what your laugh from the next room already does.
