I used to love a girl. She was everything that I am not. She was a dancer, a writer, passionate and kind. Her goals were in reach and she had a heart full of hope. She was everything beautiful. But things change and change hurts. I no longer dance. My heart is bitter and I see no bright future. I can only look behind me and remember the girl I used to be. The girl I loved.

We wish we could be as carefree, hopeful, and optimistic as we used to be. At least I do.

WELCOME GC ~ Thanks for a very nostalgic ~ yet true ~ first poem. I'm twice your age so I can emphasise. Unfortunately we can't go back in time ! I wish i was 17 again (knowing what I now know !) but one just has to make the most of the time one has and get on with it. I have much to be very thankful for and the FUTURE is set FAIR. Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN (UK)
