My Old Year's Resolution

One year more I watched that glistening bauble drop from the heavens above Celebrities were kissing while I watched; innocent as a dove One hand held I a mocktail the other held the remote my iPhone 5 was on my lap the drink running down my throat I was starting to get nervous as the year was ending soon these next few seconds were intense or I was crazy as a loon My love of just two months was conversing then with me He was away but I was here it was him I wished to see Then at last the time had come to welcome the New Year My heart stopped as I sent the text that I before had feared Some people underestimate the power of emojis but they convey a secret language for the new generation to see the particular face I sent had puckered lips of love would it be received well as I hoped I prayed to Heaven above The time was 12:01 I was ready for fate to play its part in my quest of love from which I had not strayed My phone then alerted me that I had received a message it was a kiss sent back to me from the boy I love with rage My heart was all aflutter when I realized with glee this was my first New Year's kiss and it belonged to me not only this, but there was more that I celebrated that night I completed a resolution that I had made years before in spite of my usual luck in love it was horrible to the extreme I wanted to have a kiss of love the night Baby New Year was conceived I jumped up from my chair and danced about with glee then I shouted for the world to hear; "My Old Year's resolution is complete!"
