I thought today was going to be good
Get up and just be the old me
I sometimes forget her
She was so engrossed in herself
Always so lively and free

But, you changed her
You made her feel love
Something that was new and so addicting
The connection she had been searching for
She craved the way you looked at her
The way you touched her
She wanted those nights, those laughs
That lively girl dove head first into your comfort
Eyes shut and full force she dove
Arms spread and eyes closed tight
Freely, she blissfully fell into you
Let herself truly be completely open
No concern with the clouds or rain around her
Ignoring the alarming winds
But, cold nights soon creeped up on that flying girl
The days got darker
And the girl wasn't ready
She was so engulfed in her newfound sunlight
She wasn't prepared to crash
To hit the ground
Fall from what was seemed higher than she could ever imagine
When she hit, she was broken
What was left wasn't the same girl
Pain emerged from the cracks of the ground
Only to show her a feeling she couldn't imagine
Today, that same pain of yesterday greeted the girl
And tomorrow it will do the same
She thought another sleep would mend her flight

Days like today,
I wish I could go back to that girl
