Love on the run


Here's to the new year

Let's take a moment to reminisce

Who'd you ring it in with?

 A kiss or a tear

Still it must have been bliss to leave that abyss

I bet you raised up a fist because you conquered the fear


Of falling. Of leaving. Of learning and losing

Just to wake up next to someone whose presence you found a tab bit confusing

Another story your friends will  think is all too amusing


So you won't tell

He's a secret you'll keep

Another memory to quell

That ends up stealing your sleep


Seems you're stuck on repeat

Because this was last year

Another Romeo in your bed, far from Shakespeare 

Still he swept you off your feet

Until his retreat


All it took was two drinks

After the countdown was done

So here's to another year of high jinks

And love on the run
