Too Young

We woke up early that day

We were told to dress nice

Everyone was talking about

Her

What she liked

What she did

How she cooked

How she acted

Mother said I should've worn

My green dress

She loved that dress

We gave her a

Paper plane 

She was the best at making 

Them

A few years later I 

Realized 

Suddenly struck by grief

I failed to cry

It was to late after all

I was never going to see

Her

Again

She was dead

And I was 

Too young

To realize.
