Last night i saw a little girl at the barn. She wouldn't leave the barn until she gave her favorite horse a cookie. The little girl with the braid in her hair, covered in dirt from her cheeks to her riding chaps. As the sun disappeared and the glow of the moon lit the dark sky her father got impatient. He knew she could stay there all night if he let her.
Once she finished giving nemo a cookie she knew her father was getting more and more impatient as seconds ticked by. She kissed the horse and raced back breathing in the fresh air; with her braid swinging back in forth with the strides of her legs. Feeling free for those last couple seconds with nothing on her mind, feeling complete.
As she opened the car door and stepped inside the little girl disappeared and the 16 year old formed. Before she left the little girl told the 16 year old "I'll be waiting here, waiting for the day where you come back to where you belong." Looking out that window as they drove off she waited for the litle girl to comeback sometime soon. When they got farther and farther away the rush of life kept flowing in consuming the 16 year old with all her fears, wonders, and questions.
