He once loved
(As a friend
As a man
As a lover
As confidant)
Has become like old leather
The faded and worn leather jacket
Hidden away in the back of your closet
The last remnants of careless youth
Jealously guarded
Shamefully kept secret
A slow caress of the sleeve
The closest you will ever come
To wearing it again
Though I wouldn't trade where I am now for the wide world, "oh, to be young again"!
About Me
- Gabrielle
- I was the eccentric girl with cats -- well on my way to turning into the crazy cat lady! But then my knight finally showed up, a bit worse for wear. I remember everything and nothing. I laugh out loud at the jokes in my head. I sing along with the overhead music at stores - even when there are other customers around to hear. I call everyone honey or sweetie or dear. I have a southern accent that crops up from time to time. I dance to the music on the radio while driving. I'll wear all black one day then the next wear a white tank top and a peasant skirt. I've dyed my hair purple, blue, black... And sometimes I just don't know what I'm thinking until I try to say it out loud.
