I once met a girl
Who always took the road less traveled
Who had a head full of ideas and thick brown hair
A chest full of heart and confidence
Her eyes would wander until they found what they were looking for
And they shined like the crystal clear waters of Mexico
Men would fall for her at the first sight of her
But she just waved them away
She would just wink at me and smile
And I’d ask her how she did it
She said
Just follow me
I’ll show you what it takes
She took me through dark alleys
And winding roads
Lost relationships and new
She showed me life in a new set of eyes
And at the end
She said
I’ve shown you almost all I could
But there’s one more thing to be understood
She took me to a little shop
Coordinates unknown
That held only mirrors
I said
Why are we here?
She told me to look in the mirror and tell her what I saw
But when I did
All I saw was that girl
I turned to her and asked her why
She said
Open your eyes
You have met the future
And everywhere in between
