A Girl

Allow me to be a girl...

I once had a boy beside me.
Cracking jokes, making me laugh.
Holding my hands, embracing each other.
Kissing my lips,
touching my cheeks.

I dreamt of a fairy tale.
Princess in gown,
prince on my side,
love binds the two of us.

But then, the boy left.
No more jokes and I cried.
No more holding hands, just embracing my pillow.
Dry lips and tears run on my cheeks.

Fairy tale ended.
I became a pauper.
My prince went away and
love was gone.

I was a girl.
Yes, I was a girl.

I am a girl.
Allow me to be a girl.
