I know

that things are different with you as I look into my reflection and see someone else staring back at me.

This woman has a sadness around her that I just don’t know how she could hide it so well everyday.

That smile that comes out and shines so bright that it blinds everyone so that they won’t look close enough to see the real her.

I know that she has true moments of happiness and joy and fun and she loves the life she lives.

But, she has a darkness that follows her around just waiting for her to let her guard down and it always strikes when she is the most relax and happy.

It knows that she can and will get through the struggle it throws at her but, it also knows that if she doesn’t trip over life sometimes she won’t appreciate the little things that fall into her lap.

So, I know she doesn’t see who she truly is right now but I know that soon hopefully she will see who she is supposed to be and run as hard as she can to become that woman and once accomplished.

I hope she not ever let her go for her future will be so much better and bright with her by her side.
