I walk every day, hand in hand, with a little six year old girl. Other people can’t really see her, she doesn’t stand out because she already is out of place. 6. She tries to tell me that I should be like her, she says it whenever I'm sad . She sings melodies about the sunshine and the trees because she can finally remember those good things.  And she feels happiest when she knows of her youth because she can live in it forever. I want you to know I tried to scare this little girl off, I told her go away and stay in her own space, but she said no and had a fit. She has the personality of a lion. This girl, she looks exactly like me, but she doesn’t have bags under her eyes and she doesn’t slouch. She always stands up straight and her eyes glisten all day long. I’ve noticed once night time hits day, and the whole world is asleep, she has trouble doing the same. She scares away the stars at night; she doesn't know how to welcome the dour. She drives away the moon in fear. I noticed that we are alike in that way. We thrive in the sun and in the blue sky. We’re one person but sometimes it feels as though we are two. She acts like time never passed, and almost convinced me that we are combating time. Sometimes I tell her I wish I could. She tells me by living, I do.
