Poems by Diego Suriel

New Years Eve

It’s almost time for a change of pace

A brand new year, in our face

Headed to a celebration

Quite a grand occasion

Party hats, and streamers too

Probably going to lose my cool

The countdown starts, everybody together

A night we will always remember

The clock strikes midnight, everybody rejoices

There are even people yelling at the top of their voices

It’s a new year to start with her

As the years pass they become a blur


Six months into the relationship with my girlfriend, we spend New Years Eve at her best friend's annual New Years Party in Huntington. It was the first consecutive 48 hours I spent with her. I will remember this night especially because she gave me something I will always cherish, a chain with two dog-tags. On one side of the first dog-tag it says "Te Amo," on the reverse: "Mahal Kita," on the other tag it says "I Love You," reverse "GAME." She loves me in my first language, her first language, both our second language, and our inside joke of "The Game."
