"Never been here before"

I was not alone. I stood there, with so many people around me, nevertheless feeling like the loneliest person on earth.  I looked up to see the fireworks. By then my sight was clouded enough to confuse me. My eyes caught one explosion or two. "This is the last time." I thought. "The last new years eve I will spend in a place where I least of all want to be."

So I reached for my phone. Maybe technology can take me someplace else. "Your call has been disconnected."
You're never there when I need you.
