The Pink Girl

I was pink,

And she was purple

Together we would rule the world.

I liked spring,

She loved fall

We’d both laugh at nothing at all

.

Way too often

The storm clouds came

She'd stay at mine

Big words and bad sounds.

We had only just turned nine

.

I held her umbrella

While she walked the dog

Our gumboots all muddy

While our minds played in fog

.

Then the day arrived

Where her dad had enough

Said they’d pick up and leave

And I knew our time was up.

.

We could’ve written

Scribbled thoughts to see the world

But nothing could top it,

So I let the purple paper curl.
