TRIGGER WARNING ASSULT IMPLIED

i miss the girl i was before it happened
i miss the girl who wasn't haunted by flashbacks and trauma
i miss the girl who wasn't terrified to be around drunk people
i miss the girl who didn't apply all advice to how she could've avoided it
i miss the girl who felt like she could protect herself
i miss the girl i was before July 15th

i long for the girl i will be after
i long for the girl that won't be haunted by flashbacks
i long for the girl who won't have to explain it over and over again
i long for the girl who can help protect others
i long for the girl who is healed
