a ghost now of drinking age

twenty one
posthumous
birthdays
so now your
ghost is officially
legal to drink
as it haunts me

every year goes by
a little faster
but still i find
evidence of how
you shaped me
into whatever it is
i have become

it feels so
weird knowing
i am older now
than you ever reached
and how no matter
how much time passes
i never stop missing my dad
