Runaway Jewel

I remember it like it was yesterday..my mother leaving me. I remember having to sleep outside, stealing, freezing and starving. Slowly my life and dreams leaked out of me. My dreams of having a relationship with my mother, majoring in art, traveling, faded away slowly to the simple dream of living. They made it easier. They were there for me, the old woman, and the sisters. But the old woman left, and I left the sisters. And here I am, living in the small alley way next to the rich kids school, next to the jewlers. Life continued until he found it. He found what changed my life. Trying to obtain something close to it I met another, and soon one of my dreams happened. My dream to travel came, but in a different way. I wasn't traveling with him..it was more like, running away with him. But what happened during that, is what I'll truly never forget.
