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.
