1st January

It's 1st January Happy new year That's all I could write on the card I was a little apprehensive as to what you'd say But I was a bit anxious too Had you rejected the card or made a seen What then? It was class 5. I am Mr.Popular in school. Too cool for studies, too foolish for not being able to perceive what happens next But you took the card I still don't know what you did with it though Maybe you threw it away It's 1st January Happy New Year This time not only a card but two little red hearts on the right hand corner of the card I was hoping you wouldn't find those More like, I was hoping you wouldn't mind those Class 6 Brink of adulthood Or at least that's what I thought More like, it was beginning of those glorious puberty teenage years Not nearly. Puberty hit me in the late teens or at least that's what my voice told me. It was not girlish any more. You took it. This time a bit seriously. You got around 50 cards on each new year. I could only walk so many times home, ignoring the bus, saving for this one card. Maybe you threw it away. Obviously you threw it away. It's 1st January Happy New Year I'm in class and 10 I've grown up First stage : Rebel and ignoring the family Facebook has just come in. Or was it Orkut? I don't remember, finding your profile.. That was a very difficult task for you were also hiding from your family. First connection : I'm not the only one. Her mom also forbids her from using Facebook. After one week, mission accomplished! Friend request sent. And I thought looking into the screen every minute of the day would make you accept my friend request faster. And so I did. It's 1st January Happy new Year We are friends on Facebook and I wish on your wall Still not knowing whether it's too early to pm you. For the first time I received a reply. Thank you, beeped my messenger. Yaay! Mission completed. She talks to me. This is Clas 11 I thought "too little too late". School life is ending... I had a chance and now I destroyed it. Anyway, she knows me now. It's 1st January Happy New Year This time I have your number. I call you up. After the 3rd time you picked up. Yaay! You remember me. We talk for the next 30 minutes. My New Year is indeed HAPPY. It's 1st January Happy New Year Yes, I did marry her. Married for 10 long years I'm not wishing you I'm wishing our daughter who turned 4 last month. It's 1st January Happy New Year It's been 6 years since you left us. And it hasn't been easy. Your daughter's wedding is next month. They remind me of us. Your son-in-law is very shy, took him 5 years to say hi. He's a great guy. You'd have loved him. One more thing. Don't worry though.. But I have cancer, I'll meet you up there in a month. I'm sorry this is the last New Year wish. Naah, it's not. I'll keep on wishing you for the next 30 days. :)
