acceptance of a reflection

it lies to me
the mirror i see
a reflection i do not know
a face i cannot be
what happen to the girl?
she has left and gone somewhere new
somewhere i do not belong
but despite myself, i turn to see
is she behind
is she on the side
no, she is gone
the girl is gone
and all that remains
is me.

This is great...I have actually been feeling this way the past few days. Incidentally, did you realize that we have known each other for ALMOST a decade? Insanity!

Oh my word, has it been that long??? How time does fly. It's strange how time is constantly moving and yet half the time we don't even realize it...these thoughts came to me while I was reading Villette by Charlotte Bronte...it's a strange feeling to look in the mirror and realize you are older...I won't say wiser because I'm not sure that stands true for me but most definitely older.

While I do not know you like crystal knows you...I've technically known you for that long too. MAN. We are so far from those BYU Men's volleyball days.

Nila, you are cute as always.

Speaking of BYU Men's volleyball, remember how my face is a ball magnet and somehow, waaaaay up in the bleachers the ball managed to smack my glasses off?
I'm so cool
