Her Last Poem

Don't hate me cause I'm young
Through time you must reject me
But as we grow, I hope you know,
No one else can make me happy

Inside of me I have 
A gift from long ago
Your younger, open heart,
Waiting to be sewn

I'll never give it up
I'll never come to terms
I wish I knew, how to prove,
To you that I have learned

But go on and I will stay
You know I'm not afraid 
To build a life, with wife and kids,
And know it's not the same

As dark as it may seem
You can never take my dream
It's not real, but i'll conceal,
My living in between.
