Outside
BY: Jennifer Glover
I stood outside your window today,
And saw a glimpse of a girl I knew.
When time was still her friend
And innocence abounded too.
She told me of times long gone,
And of loves from her past.
How she thought they would only grow
And that they would forever last.
I stood there, hanging on every word.
The great stories that she told,
Of how this life had captured her,
And the battles that did unfold.
The pieces of her soul left behind,
Measured more than she had thought.
For in this journey she called life
She had to follow her heart.
I stood outside your window today,
Hoping to see this girl again,
But to my surprise she wasn’t there,
She wasn’t there, my friend.
