It's the end of the year.
I'm glad it's not the end of the line.
Or the end of my luck.
Or the end of your beauty.
No, it's the end of all the fantastic sales,
the shelves filled with i-phones, -pods, -knobs and -clocks indicating the exact end of the year.

It's love.
It's practical.
It's fair.
We care.

And don't worry!
All the gadgets will be back next year,
just a bit shinier and somewhat modified,
so we can do it all over.

I need new shoes! I need more DVDs! I need more anything!
I'll give you the double-headed remote control shaver so you will no longer be able to ignore my call for the next generation Wii I’ve so passionately been yearning for.

I love you.
I've been saving all my love to give to you,
here, at the end of the year.
Or the end of time.
Or the end of my love.
I will graciously accept your gift, or cash, or paypal transfer — but I will refuse it at first, or at least be thoroughly flattered, as if to signal that I never expected such generosity on your part.

It's the end of the year,
the time to inventory our unbalanced emotional budget.
Time to mourn the lost year.

But I'm happy!
I can drop my sarcasm like an actor his mask.
I can go out into the rain and breathe the cold winter air.

There is no end.
And no beginning.
The air counts no years.
And the rain is my friend.
I'm lucky.
I love you.
