- 39 - A Moment Like This -
I gulped down the last of my celebratory champagne and welcomed in the New Year. 2009 and I parted ways as I patiently awaited 2010 to slowly set in. If things didn't immediately click, I had the whole year to get used to it. My eyes stung from the smoke accumulating at the bar. I could have sworn they were fumigating the place by the look of the haze building around me. Perhaps it was the emotion taking me over that made my eyes water, not the toxins in the air. I reflected on my past year and realized that this year very differently from where I currently found myself. I was in a house full of friends. Blissful, drunken beings, dancing and singing as the clock struck twelve. I was young, naive, helpless to the things around me, but my innocence made me happy. There was no danger other than the ones present outside of the front door. And now the year ended with what would begin my new year; A bar full of strangers. Blissful, drunken beings, dancing and singing as the clock struck twelve.
This time, however, I nervously awaited the toll of the clock. I knew that for the first time ever in my life I would get my midnight kiss; the one I've waited for in my whole life. Not for the reason because it meant that I had someone. I've always had someone. Things were different this time. I didn't have someone, I had him. He wasn't just anyone, he was THE one. The one that struck down my guard and built his nest in my heart. His nest grew into a house which is now his permanent home. No eviction nor foreclosure could penetrate the walls he built within me.
Why bring all this up? Well last year I found comfort in the barricades of people that I surrounded myself with but now I've found the comfort of being independent in this world and I've found comfort in the man that I love. I know that I am safe in his heart and that this year will be an amazing one, especially with him by my side. Chris, I love you. Thank you for making all of this possible.
Happy New Year to all of you/
