Poppy North
Eyes flick to the mirror,
I flash a dazzling smile,
Bouncing curls, pixie eyes,
Man, that girl's got style!
Sixteen forever,
Who cares? I look great!
Ready to go out tonight,
It's sort of our first date.
The hospital didn't count,
Or digging me up, too,
Now that I'm a vampire,
My whole world is new.
Calm grey eyes watching,
Slowly filling with love,
Oh, just ignore him,
I give him a playful shove.
Jamie teeters a second,
I turn to catch his eyes,
He's dressed all in denim blue,
Looking flirtatious and sly.
I narrow my eyes and turn back,
My reflection looms in view,
I smother my lips in gloss,
Not knowing what else to do.
Jamie wraps his arms around me,
I smile a secret smile,
I look down at his elegant hands,
Oh, the date can wait a while.
Our hands lock together,
I spin out, in a trance,
He switches on some techno,
And we being to dance.
Lost forever, secure and safe,
I feel perfect at his side,
And I wonder for the hundredth time,
What would he have done if I'd died.
Bliss is nothing when I feel,
This tender security,
Jamie kisses me on the cheek,
My soulmate rescued me.
