“Change”
By Ashley O’Hare
Are you still the boy
who sent my blood to my cheeks
with a quick glance across the room?
Am I still the girl
who stumbled over her words
because her thudding heart was too new?
How much can time change?
I have said the words
over and over again,
but my heart
refuses to listen.
I’m over you.
I’m too grown for childish games.
These emotions
aren’t aligning with the new me.
How much have I changed?
How much can I undo?
