Girlish Notions

I've grown to live
to love
and my girlish notions
have been disappointed

The ever precious existence of virginity
vanishes with the blink of an eye
and the quickened escape of inhibitions

Not quite the fairy-tale romance
that girl once envisioned
but I tell myself
it's special enough for reality

And romantic scenery and wedding rings
live on in that dream world
along with tears of joy
and a man who loves me
for all of my illogical wisdom

But back in this realm
the world continues turning
despite the flowing of my
creative juices
and appreciation and admiration come
from close proximity to the norm
