Braver..

The girl isn't me,
She wasn't as strong as I am right now,
I got a little braver now,
A little more wiser,
I remember that day,
When I fumbled,
You looked at me like I was a disgrace,
But it's ironical,
When it got harder,
I got a little braver,
You left,
I miss you,
But I'm a little braver now,
A little wiser,
I still get breathless,
Your memories still choke me,
And the ribbon you disliked in my hair,
Looks like heaven itself,
The swings got rusty,
Your heartbeat in my mind all these times,
When it got harder,
I got a little braver,
A little wiser,
Your sweater's not cozy,
The warmth's not everlasting,
But you chose,
And I'm a little braver now,
A little bit wiser.
