Another year over, a new one just beginning

To think a decade has passed. Exactly ten years ago, it was the end of an era. I was with my best firends, school had just finished and we were about to embark on our future, leaving childhood behind and entering that new phase.

Wide eyed, it was cheers to us. With a hint of the y2k bug, the first moments of savouring a little bit of alcohol, of laughs and tears, we entered another decade.

Ten years on, i am all alone. My best friends, we went our own ways. Still in the same city, i wonder if they even think of me these days. Life has changed, we have lived, we have not shared our moments, we have become everything we wanted to be and everything we did not.

As i sit here all alone on new years eve, i think this is not the life i want forever. In ten years from now i want a doting man, perhaps a family but most of all, to fall asleep and wake up in the arms of another.

Who knows what life will bring, i'll welcome the new year with a smile.
