Dear Katie

Dear Katie…

Katie, what was it like to hold a hand?
What was it like to first touch sand?

What was it like to first swim in the sea?
What was it like to first believe?

What was it like to have your first kiss?
Tell me what was it like for a love to miss?

What was It like at sweet sixteen?
What was it like to start to live your dreams?

What was it like to see the world?
Tell me, what was it like to hold your girl?

What was it like to get married to him?
What was it like still only eighteen?

What was it like to forget your dreams?
What was it like to disappear it seems?

What was it like not to go home?
What was it like cold and alone?

What was it like to say sorry to mum?
What was it like that daddy couldn’t come?

What was it like to be held so tight?
What was it like to feel so light?

What was it like seeing Megan scream?
What was it like, she’s only three?

What was it like to leave Megan behind?
Katie, what was it like to drink and drive?
