A Girl

She smiles in the middle of the night
Dreaming about his gentle and caressing touch
Remembering the sensations she felt
When he would lift his hand to her cheek and kiss her so tenderly

It’s the sensation that makes her knees go weak
The same one that made her long for more
But also made her want hide inside of herself
Because she was afraid of the love she felt

But no matter what happened, he was there for her
Always held her close when she would cry
Was sweet and loving in every single way
Yet in the end it was her who had walked away

Two years she was with him and they fought all the time
Yet those two years were the best she’s had
Not because they loved each other so much
But just because she was with him

He was her everything, her life, love and world
Yet she didn’t know how to show it
And was afraid that what everyone else said
Wasn’t a lie, but the truth

Instead of believing the one she loved
She believed the ones she never really thought of
And their relationship crashed and burned
As she held up her hands and walked out the door

Does she regret it
Wish she could change it
Want to go back in time
And right the wrongs of her life

Her answer was no
Not because she doesn’t regret it or want to change it
But for the simple fact that
It helped her become who she is today

A young sixteen year old girl who has been to hell and back
But still stands strong and is slowly healing from a past so black
Wondering what’s to come and leaving the past behind
A girl with a wisdom far beyond her time
