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.
