New Year's Kiss

This wretched year has come to close
And as such will rightly end
The way it started...alone...and wanting.

I don't think it's her I miss anymore,
As much as it is just me missing.
Either way, I am mistaken.

Mistaken for thinking I'd start anew
With 2021, with someone to kiss,
But it seems my lips will meet only cold.

The cold on the brim of a glass
Of whiskey or tequila. That will be it.
My New Years kiss. To start again.
