Not A Mistake

Not A Mistake 

By Melinda Williams

Becoming that girl
The one who I shared nine months of contentment with
Never understood her ways
But always understood her soul

Becoming that girl
The one I was afraid of being for so long
Never understood the action
But always understood the sadness

Becoming that girl
The one who was once so naïve but now knows better
Never understood how
But always understood the mistake
