the morning after

"me"

i can see me
in five years time
she's happy and radiant
she wakes up inspired
and goes to sleep
with warm cup of almond milk

she smiles at the lollypop lady
and waves to her neighbors
she goes to the pools
and sits around bonfires at night
with only her closest friends

her teeth are perfect
and shiny like her car
oh did i mention she has a car?
the back seats have swallowed
in only the best memories
and the tires have savoured
endless unfamiliar roads

i can hear her
laughing and splashing
through oceans on
warm summer nights
there are no lights but
she is the torch

and i am so grateful
and proud
that she is me
