New Year’s Kiss

15 years today
Clean shaven
Moppy hair
New year’s kiss
You’re the boy I choose to miss.
A golden smile
A complex brain
I would do it all again.
My eyes are open
I’ve been asleep
You’re the boy I choose to keep.
Naive I was, expected much,
Assumed in advance
Never gave you a chance
Overlooked your gifts
I stood in your way
Now one wish,
That you choose to stay.
15 years and I finally learnt
To build a fire
Wood must get burnt
I want to grow from this
Evolve renew
A new perspective
More mindful of you
With new eyes,
This trajectory is set.
Our love hasn’t started yet.
