Everything and Nothing
She loved the way the salty air
kissed her rosy cheeks,
She loved the way the warm
blankets kept her safe,
She loved the feeling of the
soapy bubbles against her skin,
She loved the sky just before
sunset,
The sound of the crickets as
they chirped around her,
The water rippling as she
kicked her feet in the puddle,
Her family,
Her friends,
The boy who would never know
she existed.
The boy who would never know
what she loved
Because even though she loved
a lot of things,
She couldn't love herself.
