December

"December is near", she said excitedly. " Yeah", he said. They were gonna meet each other for the first time this December. Yet all he could think of was how different things had been last December. How he'd tried to kill himself and failed. And then he met her and everything had changed. He couldn't wait to give up his life last December. He couldn't wait to meet his life, this December. "Are you even listening to me?", she asked. "Yeah, babe", he said, smiling. As tears caressed his cheeks, he said, " Just wondering how special December is".
