i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

and it passed by in joy, in nostalgia and the company of old and new friends.

what a year.

not the smoothest, but by far one of the most memorable.

and as the door closes on 2010,

i feel like it's ready to let me go,

and release my heart to new beginnings, new endings, new misgivings and new mistakes.

but that's okay, because aren't we all just flaws stitched together with good intentions?

the next half a year,

will be hard to go through.

but that's okay.

you and i,

we'll both pull through.
