The Perfect Song at Imperfect Times

Time is at fault in many things. Time is the reason that you can't spend your New Years Eve with a party in Spain while simultaneously lounging around in Florida. Time is the push that makes you get your taxes done by April. And time is measured in many different ways.
And what once seemed perfect may, through time, lose that touch; that state. Time seems to wear down many things, but also has the power to repair.
And I personally find myself wishing to be stuck in a single moment where I find everything to be right. I wish that, while feeling the way that I forever want to feel, I would be able to freeze time, and constantly live in that moment. I'm afraid of what I can't see; what's completely unknown to me.
With a new year coming up, and many changes in life accompanying it, I wish that I could stop time, or relive this year. And not for the reason that this was a particularily good year...but at least I would know what was coming. It was predictable...safe.
What was a perfect song then may not be the perfect song coming up. I'm afraid that a year of gains and hopes will be followed by a year of loss...
"Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway, but tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day.
Cuz underneath the scars of your broken dreams, an undone war still wages and stings.
You feel the year will blow like a breeze through a rainbow you swear is there, but you can't grab ahold.
So you sit and cry and wonder why."
New years seem to creep me out in ways that I never thought they could. "New" seems to be the good buzz word in adveritising. But to me...I hate change.
I HATE change.
And every year I have to man in up and hope that this year will be ok, and that I'll get through it.
I just have to hope that where I end up will be better than where I am now...
"You've come far, and though you're far from the end,
You dont' mind where you are cuz you know where you've been."
I hope this upcoming year will be one full of hope and progress.
