My Girl
The wonderful thing about AH was that you could never understand her, you would get glimpses into that place she called her own but never the whole picture. She showed you the parts she wanted you to see, never letting you see what was truly underneath that cool, calm girl exterior.
But in that way, you could love her - knowing the damage was there only just visible. Only, never knowing what was really beneath the facade, that was oh so perfect and practised even the cracks were beautiful.
I had a Polaroid of her in a scrapbook - my ex-boyfriend found, asking who she was, in the way that all people asked who she was. A wondrous beauty with spark and mischief in the eyes and a cigarette permanently parting her lips. If caught off guard always looking a little sad. She will always be loved. Just not for the girl she is beneath.
She smelt like perfume, cigarettes and Cadbury’s chocolate.
