it’s been awhile, yeah?
i haven't seen you in weeks.
do you remember what i look like?
do you remember my smile and
the way my nose crinkles when i do?
do you remember my favorite shows?
i look different now
(just a small warning);
my eyes have purple bags
held with tight hands
like a young woman
walking through a dark
parking lot at 3am.
my hair is long like
the days i spend holed
up in a classroom with
loud kids, laughing
at something dumb
that someone said.
my eyebrows are thicker
than your laugh when i
say something stupid.
my eyes are tired like
the single mother down
the street supporting her
three kids with minimum
wage.
i look different, but i'm still me.
i'm still your girl.
i'm still yours.
