It was said that this year, our new year would be delayed by one second. And it wasn't until that one second when I paid mind to my breathing and my beating. They didn't match up. My head and my heart, they didn't match up. My heart was bursting at the seams, but my head, well it was my head. It's 2017 and I can't help but feel as if I was just born, lost, yet full of wonder. I can't help but just feel. Yes, it is the new year. But that one second felt so familiar.

Leap Second
It was said that this year, our new year would be delayed by one second. And it wasn't until that one second when I paid mind to my breathing and my beating. They didn't match up. My head and my heart, they didn't match up. My heart was bursting at the seams, but my head, well it was my head. It's 2017 and I can't help but feel as if I was just born, lost, yet full of wonder. I can't help but just feel. Yes, it is the new year. But that one second felt so familiar.
