There she was, the new girl
\nThe one everyone was talking about, laughing about
\nBut I never saw anything funny
\nAs I looked to her in admiration for her difference
\nAnd the courage to be an individual
\nMe, the shy one, always stumbling over my words
\nFumbling for the right things to say
\nBut I could talk to her, and I did when no one else would
\nHer voice was itchy like sandpaper
\nMy guess, because she smoked too much
\nBut it suited her
\nThe way the smoke would dance around her pail white skin
\nAnd softly stick to her ghostlike lips
\nEverything she wore was black
\nRight down to a pair of combat boots
\nAbout one size to big
\nI would always smile when she walked
\nAs we talked about life and love
\nUntil one day she was gone
\nI found a box by my door with a note that read
\n “keep my boots for me”
\n “I noticed how you always looked at them”
\n “besides they probably fit you better anyway”
\n “but keep in mind, I will be back for them someday”
\nAnd as quickly as she arrived, she was gone
\nWith my heart broken upon this lonely door step
\nSo now you know why I always wear these boots
\nBecause one day
\nThe only girl I ever loved
\nWill come back for them and for me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
