To Find Her

Have you seen her? The girl that was just here? Do you know where she went? She was just here I swear But I can’t seem to find her. She must have gotten lost To a dream, One she has had for ages, To dance with the stars And sing to the moon. She was always wandering, Ya know? Maybe she went to the forest To sink her toes into the Untouched grass And forage in the dirt. She so did love the flowers. She would talk to the wisps And could hear them talking back. They don’t speak to me anymore. Or perhaps her meandering Found her the ocean, That vast creature, And she sunk deep into the sand Curled by the rocks To feel the salty spray. To gaze wistfully at a horizon Untouchable, Unattainable. To soak in the warmth of a sun Ever shining Upon shells and the mist. Oh! Maybe! She is under a waterfall High up in the mountains With a sky that never ends And air so crisp So fresh That your lungs heal just from breathing. She always wanted to live in The mountains With books And with blankets To sit by a fire And warm her soul. The thing is And I hope you don’t mind That I share this But I think that this girl I think she used to be me. I think I am her And she is me And we are the same But we haven’t been the same In years. You see, I used to have these dreams To dance in a moonlit forest To lay under the sun on an endless expanse Of sand To escape to the mountains But something happened. I couldn’t tell you when, exactly, Or what, exactly, But things changed. Those dreams dimmed When reality Set in. But I think I could find them Find her Once again. So tell me, have you seen her? The girl that was just here? Do you know where she went? She was just here I swear But I can’t seem to find her. I just I just I just I just want to find her.
