It’s New Year’s Eve…
I’m waiting your
arrival
To ring in the new
year.
We dated years ago
and
Despite our
differences
I loved you so.
Parting as the best
of friends
We still get
together
On Saturday nights
And Sunday
afternoons
And New Year’s Eves
When there’s no one
involved
With you and me.
Sometimes I think,
maybe?
Maybe we could love
again?
Maybe it would work
this time?
It’s New Year’s Eve
The call comes in:
You won’t be coming
after all.
It’s New Year’s Eve.
I understand.
Nothing’s New.
