"She is Me"
I stare at my mirror
I see a young girl, only 17
Staring back into my eyes
She is a dreamer, a planner, and a learner
Just like me
She has confident brown eyes and unique features
Just like me
She is creative and inspired by music
Just like me
She is a worker, a Christian, a girlfriend, and a daughter
Just like me
She laughs, cries, smiles, and frowns
Just like everyone else
She loves, hopes, wishes, and dreams
Just like everyone else
She has wants and needs, questions and answers
Just like everyone else
She blends in and stands out
Just like everyone else
She is familiar, yet a stranger
She is loud, yet silent
She is different, yet the same
She is strong, yet weak
She is you, yet she is me.

“Only You”
You can quench my thirst better than rushing rivers.
You can take me to the sky’s limit because your love is limitless.
Your love shines brighter than a thousand stars.
Your love could fill all the books of time with its passion.
Your love is more beautiful than the evening sunset.
Your love is my absolute truth that no one can deny.
Your love is a harmony that is better than any love song.
Your love is as loud as church bells shouting out the time.
Your love is unspeakable through mere words.
Your love is higher than any mountain peak.
Your love warms me, protects me through winter’s iciest freeze.
You love is perfect like God’s creation.
Your love is musical, proclaiming itself for all to hear.
Your love belongs to me and no one will ever steal it from my heart.
If all these things I have described are proven, then it must be true
My everlasting love must only be fulfilled by
You.
