the girl i lost

The Girl I lost 

I lost a girl who looked at the sky and dreamed of touching it 

The girl who was always self-loved and self-obsessed 

I lost the girl who would laugh at the roasts made on her 

I lost the girl who would get ready with full confidence to capture herself 

I lost the girl who was happy even coming third in competitions 

I lost the girl who peeked through the window with a bigger smile each day when she saw clouds

I lost the girl who was confident with her looks 

I lost the girl who didn’t care about what fashion was going on 

I lost the girl who would believe in herself more than anyone 

I lost the girl who would smile at random strangers walking on the streets

I lost the girl but sometimes,

in the stillness between thoughts,

I feel her watching me

waiting to be found.
