Spoken Word

8
Back when I was 8, I met a girl who became my most favorite person. We had ways & plans to prove to the world that we can make it through,
Whether with or without the help of the people around us
But,

I’ve lost her
The girl that I used to see when I wake up in the morning in a hot summer day
The girl I used to play with under the high sun in an afternoon break
The girl I used to sing with as we lay Under that old mango tree,

I’ve lost her
The girl who smiles with eyes full of visions
The girl who likes to play pretend and be the doctor for a reason
The girl who says she’s like those ones on the TV
And I bet she’d force you to agree
That she’s better than Angelina Jolie,

I’ve lost her
The girl who never feared to dream
The girl who is not afraid to show off her tears
The girl who never stop believing,

I’ve lost her
The girl who one’s loved the world
The girl who one’s knew her worth
The girl who one’s believed,
That people are all righteous.

I’ve lost her
The girl who understands the unreasonable
The girl who laughs at her fear
The girl who never failed to be near
To someone’s souls that is so unclear

But I lost her.
She lost me.
We both lost each other.

And I guess I’ll never find the girl that
I once saw in the mirror every morning.
Back when I was 8,
I lost my innocence.
