Girl With the Emerald Eyes
I remember the girl with the emerald eyes
many thought she was a witch, and said it
under their breath, giving her a wide path
I befriended her, and was glad later
for we had become friends, and she was worth the risk
her sense of humor outshone everyone else’s
we laughed at the craziest things
and nothing at all
not people, but ideas, and ideals
she moved away in our seventh grade year
I wrote to her for a while, but she never wrote back
that was fifty-nine years back, but I still love her dearly
