A Poem by Brigid Cooley

Ah, a familiar story indeed:

a girl who loves too hard,

laughs too loud,

dreams too big,

overthinks too often,

and smiles just enough,

fell in love with a boy who never really knew how much she cared for him.

He overlooked the stars in her eyes and the skip in her step.

He rushed past her open arms and swelling heart.

She smelled like vanilla, but he never noticed.

And now that he's finally slowed down,

now that he's finally looking...

she

is

long

gone.
