new year wishes

so be with me –

in the new year

and the old year

and every year

that ever will be

and I will love you –

with my blood

and my bones

and every ounce

of my being

surely I jest

maybe next year

I’ll miss you

less, yes?

no.

always III

no matter what

I’ll always be the one

who loved you

more than anyone else would

the one who loved you

too much for anyone’s good

always II

I still hold the promises

you made

maybe someday you will

keep them

maybe someday I will

lose them

exception

at the close of every year

I delete demons anew;

every single one

except for

you.

aqua

in your perfume
I still soak
friendship bands
it brings you back
like nothing else can

bye bye

six months is ancient history

I think you need to

forget me

now
