The Girl I Was

It's been a long time
Since I have seen the moon cry,
But tonight, the mystery
Is undone and I am held within,
Surrounded by a light gone dark--
But I am not scared,
I am never scared anymore,
Because I cannot see the reason.

I am all you wouldn't see,
And everything you couldn't touch,
Not like Spring,
Not like Silence,
Not like Snow--
To you, I was voice in a hurricane,
A temporary, isolated Nature.

Here I am, for the last time,
Finding that something old
Has crept into something new--
But I don't care, because I know
The difference between the
Reflections.  I know that he
Isn't you, and I am not
The girl I was.
