champagne & glitter

happiness

ellen & ian

the streets were crowded,

and the air was thick with

celebration.

no one semed to frown

or worry and for

a moment,

i stood and looked at the city.

because for one night,

we could all come together

for a fresh start.

and while almost everyone

stood in times square,

watching the magic right before their eyes,

i knew there was some place else

i needed to be.

i tried to get a taxi,

but my heart was beating too furiously

for me to wait.

and i was also scared that too much time to think

would take me back to my apartment.

so i ran,

and when the coffee shop came into view,

i sprinted.

and i threw open the door

with the widest grin i'd ever

wore,

because i did it.

and there she was.
