New year’s eve
Jan 1st, 2012 by Ashley
We had wine, snacks, and fizzy pine tree. We watched Boston Legal and waited for the end of 2011. Two minutes before counting down, I put on Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together; we held each other and swayed, but no we didn’t dance. You’d never admit to that. We counted down to time.gov because if you’re doing it, you’ll have to do it accurately. I attempted to argue, but you said it’s not the time for philosophy. We counted down to the clock, said happy new year to each other, and we kissed. It’s a gentle, loving, long and appreciative kiss. We drank to each other, first clink of 2012, first sip of 2012.
Back on the couch, my arms around you neck and shoulder, “this is my best new year’s eve so far.” “Mine, too.”
