One Year

I began the year with depresison.

I have every year for years.

Without friends.

Distanced from my faimily.

Work my only friend.

And then you showed up.

You shook me up.

You turned my life upside down.

It went from gray-scale to vibrantly colourful in a matter of weeks.

You changed me.

You gave me be a new perspective on life.

I fell in love for the first time.

My year flew past.

It was a flurry of happy moments and love and conflict and resolution.

It was almost perfect.

Almost as nothing is ever perfect.

Fall arrived.

You were so stressed.

I pushed and you ran.

I loved and you turned away.

You left me.

It was miscommunication.

You were unwilling to try again.

You dropped what had blossomed and bloomed.

It was mendable.

It wasn't to you.

I became the optimist.

You became the pessemist.

I faded away again.

Into the background where I had begun

The most intesnse and wonderful experience in my life.

It left me broken.

Fall faded into winter.

Everything was grey.

The weather mirrored my mood.

Snow piled up as I shut everything out.

And then the year was over.

The happiest year of my life.

And the saddest.
