from the first

lightening cracked
and with the trembling
of your knees
i knew that i could wait
forever to be
your girl
in a yellow dress
circling, circling,
forever in pace
without turn.

forever would be the moment that
i was, am,
the true essence of a girl,
who revels in the
true beauty of woman.
for now i am simply, always
the girl next door,
fool in the rain,
standing still,
as always
the song remains the same.
