To my new years kiss

Because of you I’m standing here
and holding a cigarette between my lips
The pollution will stain my freezed fingertips
Exhaling the smoke, and nobody’s near

Escaping all the words you said
The smile on my lips quivers lightly
Sentences affect my whole body ever so slightly
In a few hours, their meaning is dead

And still I’m obliged to thank you
At least for a trice the words were a truth
In the moment where alcohol poisoned all your youth
It made me feel something, that’s new
