Coming to the end of 2008
I sit and wonder
If it was a bad or good year
And the consider the highs and lows of the last 12months
A smile appears on my face
And a little laughter escapes my lips
As I remember random memories
That had been created this year
A tear forms in my eyes
As I think back to all those days
Where I struggled
Because it was the first full year without my Nan
I also recall the joys and pains
Of friendship
And how we hadn’t spoken a word in 6months
But yet look at us now
Remembering my relationship
I’m still unsure whether to feel sad or smile
Because even though us splitting us was right
I still kind of miss him
After all the tears, tantrums and pain of 2008
I decide it was a good year
Because even though it wasn’t the easiest
There was a reason for everything
And I’m still smiling now.
