Was

I was the girl who loved her daddy.

I was the girl who wrote poems while sitting on the rocks at the beach.

I was the girl who wrote short stories for her family as Christmas presents.

I was the girl who wrote a book!

I was the daughter, the sister, the friend, the lover.

I was the girl who said, “No worries,”

and “Go Happy Yourself!!”

I was the girl who loved to kiss in the rain.

I was the girl who loved to kiss.

I was the girl who loved to laugh,

and who lived to make others laugh.

I was the girl who lived and loved to serve.

I was the girl who loved Mondays.

I was the girl who said, “You can do this!”

and who cheered you on from the sidelines.

I was the girl who loved with everything inside her.

Until there was nothing left inside her.

I was the girl.

I was that girl.

I was.
