Hands raiseAs the ball dropsNew chances arriveAs past ones are lost


Confetti fluttersFalling down fastLips crashAnd plastic cups clash


Fireworks and cheersTrace the evening with lightYoung boys and young girlsToo easy to excite


Pictures frame the crowded hallsMemories of loved ones left to rot on dry wall


I'll meet new peopleAnd find old ones, tooThey help me forgetAbout me and you


We both have moved onI'm sure of thatBut we tend to forget Once we get a taste of the past


Without youDecember is bleakI can't live in the pastBut I might take a peekYou bring me upAsk friends how I've beenIt still hurts to knowYou might always be "him"
