A Girl I Knew Once

She’s kindness wrapped in creativity.
It's quiet but steady,
a presence that fills every room,
making the world softer just by existing.
A daily reminder that the world can be gentle.

Her laugh-
the total opposite.
It's loud, unapologetic,
like a sudden burst of sunlight.
It makes you feel alive,
like nothing matters more than this shared breath.
I find myself chasing that sound,
hoping I can somehow capture it, keep it.

And when she speaks-
it’s like she’s painting,
her words shaping the air,
transforming ordinary moments into magic.
Every sentence is a brushstroke,
each laugh a splash of vibrant color.

Even now, as I wander through thoughts of her,
I'm wrapped in the memory of her touch-
the kind that grounds you
and leaves a warmth behind.
Her kiss lingers like a gentle echo,
whispering across my lips with every breath.

It’s in these echoes that I find my comfort,
in the spaces between her laughter and her touch.
In the quiet moments,
when her presence is still lingering like a promise,
I realize she’s become a beautiful thread
woven into the fabric of my days.

And in this tapestry of my memories,
I hold onto her with hope,
waiting for the day when those echoes
become the melody of our shared reality.
