Stuck in between Christmas and New Year.....

Listening to the radio playing its sad love song, listening to my heart playing its sour bitter tunes, my mood subsides as the sun sets, my soul sinks as the clock strikes twelve....

Listening to the fireworks crackle, only to witness it through broadband internet, opening season greetings one after another, only to received them through my facebook and my yahoo.com (not even text from my mobile)

Shrieks of laughter from downstrais at the corner shop, the TV turned on maybe a little too loud,
little children running with fireworks in hand, others sitting round playing cards under the fan.

My eyes turned back to the TV programme, suddenly a red packet replaced it's frame.

I looked up with glee in my eyes, Yet again another "lonely-time" is mine.....

I open my eyes, only to find myself staring at the ceiling above, I close my eyes again
only to find myself playing back the events of the past....

So close these memories in my mind, YET so far they are from reality
so happy to be in those present moments, YET so sad to replay past memories......

Listening to my fingers tapping on my laptop keyboard, how they long to be touching that face, feeling my head lie against a stone cold wall, how it longs to rest on that shoulder

If my legs could run a thousand miles, if I had wing to fly
if my hearts could travel as swifg as broadband, If only I had just one wish.....

I would hear firework crackling behind, I would smell sweet sticky cake in the air.
I would feel the warmth on his arms around mine, I would see those heart - melting features once again...

So close in my heart, YET so far from my reach - So fast it's New Year once again,
Yet so long till we meet again.....

and.............

Cross bun, christmas tree, chocolates and expensive gifts

and...........

dinner at a swanky restaurant, are the images that come to mind when christmas eve comes around each year....

I might not have a 'date' every year.... But no matters what, I know all my friends
will always love me.....

and......

always will be there for me.......

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas, to you and to all those loved ones

"SO CLOSE....... YET SO FAR........"

it's only me
