DEAR 2015

Dear 2015,

I was so excited to meet you when 2014 left
I was so ready to greet you with a smile
I was expecting to receive a gift from you
But you brought me a very big problem with a black ribbon
I didn't know what was wrong with you
You took precious gifts that 2014 gave me.
I hated you immediately for that. I hated you a lot.
I told myself, I shouldn't have waited for you.
Maybe you felt bad too for bringing me a wrong gift
Maybe you were so sorry for what you did
And you decided to be friends with me
So you surprised me with plenty of gifts
Some are beautiful and big
Many are colorful and cute
You showered me with wonderful surprises
I was amazed! I was overwhelmed
You sent me gifts I didn't expect to receive
I smiled and laughed a lot
I loved you after that
I said "you are the best than other years i met"
But, maybe you are not used to hearing praises
Maybe you don't want to be loved
Maybe you don't know how to accept gratitude
Maybe you thought I didn't appreciate you at all
You took back some of those gifts you gave me
It's fine. I can accept that.
But you also took the gift that God gave me.

Why? It's not yours. It's mine.
For 15 years, I've been taking good care of it.
You're not supposed to touch it.
Who are you to take it?
Even if you send me gifts now
You can never replace it.
I will always be thankful for those beautiful gifts you gave me
I didn't know they are not free so you took one precious thing from me.
Soon, you will be leaving me
Although, I hate you a lot and wouldn't want to see you again
Still, thank you for leaving me with wonderful memories to remember.

Good bye 2015. Do me a favor, please tell 2016 to be good to me.
