before was a better person
by Shonda CreemerI wish I could
go back to the
before
before
that color of nail polish
the make-up and perfect outfit
our first date
before
that amazing kiss at the zoo
the angel you gave me
the I Love You (I Love You Back)
before
those warm nights
the hours spent getting to know each other
the memories
before
the doubts
that "I don't think this is working out" moment
the tears, phone calls, words said in frustration
before
the goodbye
I wish I could
go back to the
before
because the person
that I was before
is not the same
person I have since
became
