The Real Her
Blue eyes to rival the sea
And highlights from the sun
Her smile isn't the brightest
But it's a miracle she still has one
A laugh that's never quite the same
Lights up any room she enters
Though her personality begs attention
She never wants to be at the center
She'll dance when no one's looking
She'll sing her heart out to a song
Rainy days were never gloomy for her
While for others they seemed dreary and long
When she cracks the cover of a new book
Her heart begins to race
The smell of the pages is what she craves
At each new chapter she quickens her pace
When she catches her reflection
She pauses now and then
It's easy to forget the outside
When you're busy looking in
Her favorite movie has often been her best friend
The words now inked onto her heart
A story of fellowship and danger
Friendship being the best part
Quietly she wishes she could return to the days
When ocean melodies and birdsongs were her tunes
A toothy grin adorning a young face
The doorway to heaven being through the moon
She lives in the future most of the time though
Dreaming of days that seem perfect and pretty
She'll lose her head up in the those clouds
But that won't stop her from coming back with something witty
She really is a romantic you know
True love and soul mates are something she believes to be real
One day she hopes to find her long lost lover
They'll meet in the library or maybe hanging from a Ferris wheel
She's proud of who she's become
The path to get here seemed to be winding
But when she finally saw around that curve
Who she was became quite blinding
Faith and friends keep her company
She's content with a smaller crowd
Don't mistake her for anything but a social butterfly however
She's not afraid to voice her thoughts aloud
Everything in nature grabs at her sight
Each blossom needing to be seen
The world is her oyster
She wants to plant her feet in places she's never been
So this girl you see in the hallway
The one you see driving the minivan around town
She's completely unique from what you thought she was
She would refuse the throne if you offered her a crown
She wants what she wants
As stubborn as she can be
But every night the first star she sees
She begs to give in to one dreamer's plea
Now this is the story of just one person
I know there are 7 billion on the planet
But she believes getting to know one person can make all the difference
So what do you think? Can it?
