Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes i wonder what happened to that hair clip
the one left alone at the playground on Easter
while we kissed under the slide
and the kids played hide and seek
the day i met your family
and you dropped candy all over my driveway
Sometimes i wonder what happened to the bobby pins
the ones that held my hair securely in place
curls spinning around my face
as we danced all alone in a crowd
prom night, the night i was your princess
happily ever after was within my reach
Sometimes i wonder what happened to the tiny clips
that you pulled out of my hair
your father's car while music played
and i leaned against your side
your tuxedo jacket draped around my shoulders
your bowtie undone and your arms around me
half asleep in my prom dress
Sometimes i wonder what happened to us
and then i realize that really,
we just fell apart.
