Yet

Grown up to be a woman yet still a little girl inside Settled for a boy yet still longing for a man Found her purpose yet not the one she hoped it would be Living with uncompromising honesty yet still hiding one dark secret Content to wear jeans and a sweater yet gazes longingly at the gown in the window Pleased with her life yet holding out hope for another Grasped hard-learned lessons yet feels like a schoolgirl next to him Sees the beauty around her yet dreams of somewhere else
