I see her at the traffic light
      In the parking lot
        In the store
          In her room
            In my room
    The long wavy hair flowing loose
      in a pony tail
        straight when it's almost time for a new perm
    In tights
      In a skirt
        In a romper
          In a sweater
            In a T-shirt
    Sneakers
      Heels

    I see her in every way I have seen her before
    I never see her anymore

    I see her brown eyes

      Pouty lips
        Funny nose
          Unkempt nails
            Lacquered feet
              Thin slightly hunched body
    Deep in thought
      Rarely carefree
        Sad
          Happy
            Serious

              GONE!
