Happy New Year
10:34
Walk in, alone
It’s different now
Without you here
10:47
Sparkly hat on my head
Streamers blind my eyes, celebrating
What is sure to come
11:02
I see you
Your once warm eyes speak
“What are we doing here?”
11:11
Make a wish
But you’re still over there
And I’m over here
11:26
Was it just last year
That you promised
You would never leave?
11:49
The countdown begins
I’m here, you’re there
I catch your eye
11:52
I shouldn’t do it
But gravity pulls
My heart to yours
11:54
Heart pounding
I don’t move
And neither do you
11:56
Four minutes
And my life will change
Forever
11:57
My mind flips- the page of a book
I can almost feel your hand safely on my back
And now nothing
11:58
I never thought
I wouldn’t be able
To trace the smooth lines across your palms
11:59
I take one step towards you
Hold my breath –
And you look down
12:00
Alone in a sea
Of colored confetti
Happy New Year.
