#YearEndEchoes

Time slips through my fingers,
As if just a day has passed since its arrival's whisper.
I'm not ready but I must bid it adieu,
Another year approaches swiftly, yet denial lingers.

It's an endless carousel of farewells,
It saddens me how unprepared I am once again, I sigh in defeat,
Oh how I yearn to halt time exactly at midnight,
To rewind and relive the tapestry of years, both bitter and sweet.

However life is no fairy...
