It was chillier. The fireworks were still too far away. Buildings sprouted sparkling, colored afros and I waited in a timewarp. The moment was made of "only yesterday" mixed with "long ago" and a vague recollection of what went right because it's a whole f*cking year later. I was in love. Big, exploding love. Now I'm out of it. Mostly OK. Floating into the night. Aiming to land on another rooftop. A little closer this time.
I love your wording. Poignant.
