the first time i saw her she was shouting.

not screaming
more like calm reprimanding

a strong voice

bright eyes

green like the ocean

glistening in the sun.

it almost brought a smile to my face

but i stopped myself before that could happen.

i'm not the girl who smiles.

i'm the girl who says nothing and keeps to herself

who holds dark secrets that no one cares to seek out.

that's who i was to them.

i wondered if she would think the same.
