Hello 2013

Every December 31st, I listen to this song. It’s a sad goodbye to the year behind, and a sweet wistful prayer for the new year.

Goodbye, 2012. You were an exceptional year, full of strange and beautiful surprises.

It’s nice to meet you, 2013. I’m ready for you.

It’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe

Maybe this year will be better than the last.

I can’t remember all the times I tried to tell myself

To hold on to these moments as they pass.
