Six Years

The last time that you saw me It was all but six years ago So you'll probably find it funny That I'm still the girl you know The last time that you saw me I'll bet I was just as insane My blood flowing along with the silver But we pretended it was all a game Avoiding all traces of reality And yet it's the only place I stay I wish my mind could slip to fantasy And take this insanity away They say I'm still that 16 year-old I'm inclined to think that's true Physically, emotionally.. seriously, it started even before I met you I've been spending years reminiscing About everything that's done It's done, so why should it matter? I shouldn't be stuck in this six-year stun But here we are in the present Both older and wiser, but just the same Pondering how it could be this way Always stuck in the same old game.

Hard to be stuck in that same place, Juli-Michelle. If it is not meant to be, you need to move on. I enjoyed this and I hope you find someone really great in your life!

Nice rhyme and flow to this Juli, and I really think that the more we change the more we actually remain the same. Nicely expressed.
