]Sixteen is much more than just a number
Sixteen is much more than just a number.It's when, for the first time in her life,
A girl's heart experiences the most powerful emotion;
The essence of her teenage world: love.
She free-falls backwards with the impulse,
Only hoping that the one causing all these feelings,
That boy that makes her heart pound faster,
And slower at the same time;
Is there waiting, ready to catch her.
But often, this is not the case.
He's too busy exploring his options,
He doesn't notice how fast she's falling...
And at last, she nears rock bottom.
And guess what? He's nowhere around.
She's left so broken, it hurts to breathe.
Yes, her stained heart is still beating;
But every pulse spreads the locked-in memories,
Along with the pain associated, through her veins;
Engulfing her shattered body.
And yes, she may still be breathing;
But every breath only longs to catch his scent...
Any indication that he's come back for her.
Once again, for the first time in her life,
She learns a new emotion, but it is not her own:
Compassion; coming from everyone she'd left behind,
Because in the midst of all the kisses and "i love you"s;
She foolishly forgot those who really loved her.
It wasn't the boy, who had let her fall so hard,
That helped her pick up the pieces;
It was the friends who always caught her in the first place.
