365 + 365/2

how do you cut three hundred and sixty-five in half?
182.5 means nothing to me
so does 547.5
but i know that today means something to me

you taught me to chew my food 20 times before i swallowed it
you taught me to follow the brightest star (north star) if i got lost in the ocean
you taught me how to play a vinyl record
you taught me how to despise somebody
you taught me how to forget that i needed somebody
you taught me how to forgive
you taught me how to start over
and you taught me how to remember what really matters most
you gave yourself ten years' time to teach me things
and i'm seventeen now
you taught me how to miss someone
and i kind of wish i never learned that one.
