The girl that blinked missed it.
she missed her head to toe loveliness.she missed the love around her.she missed the way he loved her.she missed the good times.but it was worth it to miss the bad times..right?..of course it was.the girl that blinked stood on the edge of a cliff.the girl that blinked, blinked.and fell.but with eyes wide open she climbed back up.with eyes not fluttered she faced the world.and now, the girl rises.
