She was just 16 years old
Yet she loved like someone older
She met her true love in high school
At a dance
He was handsome and dazzling
She was enchanted
He was her prince
All she wanted was to be with him
Forever
Yet life offers us twists and turns
Which we cannot control or change
Even when we want to
There was going to come a day when he would leave
She didn't think she could bear it
But she made him a gift so he wouldn't forget
A small book with important dates and photos
It was made with all the love in her heart
So at their final time together,
She gave him the book
Which was a small part of her
She knew we all have to follow our destiny
Even if it hurts
So she watched him leave her
Hoping some day that she would be given her dream
To see him again
