Misti L. Green

It was love at first sight.
When I saw you, I knew
Together we would be,
Just me and you.

You're the only one
I love you so much.
I'm all alone now,
And I long for your touch.

It seems so long
Since you have left.
You said you would be back.
I just hope for the best.

It has been three days...
I miss you so.
I wish that I
Was allowed to go.

You said you would call
When you arrived.
But when you didn't,
It made me cry.

I count down the days
Until you're back in my world.
I still can't believe
That you chose me to be your girl.

My love is true,
I know yours is too.
I can't wait
To be back with you.

In a world filled with changes
each and every day,

I feel I'm being judged
for what I do and say.

I remember back to Barbies
and play days at the park,

When I didn't worry about
other people's remarks.

Now looking in the mirror,
I see, to my surprise,

A completely different person
staring in my eyes.

The carefree little girl
I saw at 4 and 5

Is now becoming a teen
Just trying to survive.
