Which One?

two girls with green eyes

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

One is daring
she doesn't own a watch
she skips class

loves easily, indiscriminately
values her friends more than herself
she is passionate

she goes swimming in the dark
and is a hopeless flirt
wearing make-up to feel pretty

this girl lives without regret
her heart broken and more easily repaired

she throws her head back and laughs,
hair blowing in the wind,
living in the moment

The Other, is more reserved
studious and organized

she is a bit of a skeptic
but still believes in happy endings

she is conteountios and kind
always there for her friends
yet never allowing them to help her
careful not to upset anyone

this girl smiles gently
her hair in a hapless bun
her face plain, natural
under her smile she is a shadow of pain

Sometimes there is more of the first girl
others more of the second
but they are both changing
