New Years

The beginning of the end
was punctuated
by my lips on his cheek
cracked lips, sandpaper face
on tip toe I could barely reach him

He saved me from someone
Who, minutes earlier I had proclaimed that I did not love
Words which surprised me when they came out

When it was time for me to leave
He hugged me like I meant something
A hug I will remember
The end of the beginning
