Who you used to be

Are you still the girl that you used to be?
The one who dominated the claw machines
The one who smiled
Even when things got tough
The girl who laughed everytime she messed up?
Are you still the girl
Who obsessed over bands?
And dove into their lyrics
Like falling through quicksand
Are you still the girl
Who always had my back
And risked getting caught
To comfort me in a panic attack?
Are you still the girl that you used to be?
Petting my dogs in the corner awkwardly
That day that I threw
A bag of carrots at Mickey?
Are you still the girl
Who drew whiskers on her face
With markers during a sleepover
Or have those memories been erased?
Are you still the girl
Who put up with so much
And pushed herself aside
To help the ones she loved?
Are you still the girl that you used to be?
Before I broke your heart
And lied to you endlessly..?
Please don't lose sight
Of you who you are and used to be
All because I fucked you over
So many times like I was on repeat
Please know through all my actions
And lies that were see through
Even though I did so wrong
I never intended to hurt you
I can't stand the thought
That I destroyed who you used to be
Because you never deserved that
You deserve to be so so happy
So please don't cry
Please don't make yourself bleed
Because no matter what I do
You have always meant so much to me
So are you still the girl
That I remember you to be?
Or are you someone new?
A happier version, maybe?
