On New Year’s Eve, 2015,
I cheerily wrote you,
From the other side of the world:
“’Tomorrow is –
The first blank page
Of a 365-page book.’
Let’s make it meaningful!”
On New Year’s Eve, 2016,
I wholeheartedly write you,
From the same state:
“Thank you for joining –
The same cast,
In the same reality,
On the same paper;
Thank you for living –
The same words,
On the same page,
In the same chapter;
Thank you for wanting –
The same things,
With the same pace,
In the same manner;
Thank you for sharing –
The same story,
With the same close,
In the same series.”
For he who is never too far ahead of or too far behind me, and never too forward or too backward with me.
