If you reached inside a girl's heart

You will find
How much she really cries
and lots of lies

You will see
How it hurt so bad
When he gave up all they had

and how hard it is to stay strong
when nothing is right
But everything is wrong

You will hear
That tinkering song
Telling her struggles and triumphs
That she holds so dear

You will discover
Her greatest fears
Her wild dreams, and vast fantasies
That are only for her to hearYou will feel
The way her heart throbs
for that one boy
That creates a moments joy

Smiles
Tears
Hopes
Wishes
and
Nightmares

All create
A precious
Little
Gift
Waiting
for that
one

special
person
to give it to
