31 Days of Loving You
January 1, 2000

A New Year.

Never have I entered a new year
    and felt such love before.
Never have I felt so needed.
Until you, love was only a concept
    a hope
        a dream.
Love had no form, no substance.
I was alone.
Alone with friends. Alone with family.

Each New Year was the same.
No one to call to.
    No name to name.

Of all the New Years I have experienced,
there has been only one.
    The day we met--the day I first experienced
                            love.
Now I understand.
My love has form.
    My love has substance.
It is something I can hold and I can feel.
It is within.
    It is all about.
        It is life.
It calls to me:
    I call to you
"Come let us celebrate
the new millennium together -- forever."
