[ She Didn’t Turn Into An Introvert ]
[ Or Build Up A Wall ]
[ She Has Been Put Through So Much @ Such A Young Age ]
[ She Shows No Anger ]
[ Nor Does She Display, Even The Slightest Bit Of Rage ]
[ She Has Every Reason There Is To Hold A Chip On
Her Shoulder ]
[ She Seems Like A Warm Person ]
[ Not One That Continues To Grow Colder ]

[ When She Talks About Her Past ]
[ She Doesn’t Run Through It So Fast ]
[ That It Doesn’t Make Her Words Last ]
[ My Empathy For Her Is Through The Roof ]
[ Because When She Talks ]
[ She Never Acts Aloof ]
[ She Is Sincere ]
[ Every Minute That She Is Here ]
[ & She Knows ]
[ That I Will Always Keep Her On Her Toes ]
[ Because I Think Entitled & Arrogant ]
[ People Really Blows ]
[ She Takes The High Road In Most Situations In Life ]
[ She Loves My Dog ]
[ & Gets Along With My Wife ]
[ She Is NOT Here To Kiss Or Blow Smoke Up My Ass ]
[ Because I’ve Made It Really Clear ]
[ That Will Not Pass ]
[ She Is Definitely Not Here To Just Have A Good Time ]
[ & To Hear A Couple Of Good Rhymes ]
[ While Making Just A Tad Bit More Than A Dime ]
[ I’ve Gladly Shown Her That I Am A Straight Shooter ]
[ Not A Rebel ]
[ Or Looter ]
[ She Knows That What’s Mine Is Not Hers ]
[ She Told Me That She Knows That For Sure ]
[ & I Believe Her Heart Is Pure ]
[ She Certainly Knows Not To Take Kindness ]
[ For Weakness ]
[ & Trust ]
[ Is A Must ]
[ & It Is Not Like Something That You Can Bust ]
[ So Far So Good, Is What I Say ]
[ I Think I’ll Like Her ]
[ If She Wants To Stay ]
[ For All Four Of Days ]
[ I Told Her The First Day That The Agency Put All Their Eggs In

[ You Need To Live Your Life ]
[ Not Re-Live Your Past ]
[ Then Cut The Strife ]

[ You Can Always Remember The Past Memories As Being
Great ]
[ But Those Thoughts ]
