ARE YOU THE GIRL? Is this the story that we've heard at times before? About the girl who touched a pearl and wanted more? And then on checking did not have the price to pay? Are you the girl who touched the pearl that went away? Are you the girl who thought that you could find much more than those sad men whom you had loved at times before? Are you still sitting on the sands upon his shore? Are you still looking for your pearl to come once more? Are you still hoping you can go with him someday? Or will you with those unloved men forever stay? Or are you hoping that your pearl won't come again, so you can live your lonely life with lesser men? Is this the story that we've heard at times before? About the girl who touched a pearl and wanted more? And then on checking did not have the price to pay? Are you the girl who touched the pearl that went away?Copyright 1999 by Roberto Diego
