365

One more 365

Come and gone

I tremble to know

It will be the same

Yesterday’s yesterday

Midnight draws near

My chair caresses me

Harmonies of the Eve unfurl

Vibrant embers dance across twilight

I gaze at the door

Urging it to open

Will you be there?

How many 365’s have I lingered here

Hoping to see your face

To inhale your fragrance

To taste your essence?

How many 365’s did we have

Before you walked away?

Seven, eight, ten?

My memory dims

Numbing compliments of

Johnny Walker Red

Are you with him now?

Has auld lang syne

Waught new memories

Of you with him?

Does he hold you on the dance floor

Promenading to our song?

Whispering hopes of a new year?

One more 365

Come and gone

Tonight, I will wait

Johnny W and me

My next 365 belongs to you...

I promise
