The Girl You Left Behind

She is different now,
yet she is still 
the same girl you left behind.
Underneath her 
glassy eyed stare,
you can catch a glimpse of
the sparkle that 
once shone her eyes.
The ones that appear only
whenever she looks at you.
The creases 
on the sides of her lids
that deepen everytime she smiles
show you how time flew past 
without you knowing 
how they got there.
She is  different now,
but she's still the same girl
who loved you before.
And loves you still.
And patiently waits for you
to step in from the cold
and straight to the comfort 
of her embrace.
So lay down your arms
and meet her there,
on the same place
where you left your heart behind.

*** I just finished reading this book and I'm still in that emotional turmoil since I've started it. Gaaahh. I need something to snap me out of this self-inflicted misery.
