always

I used to think that I would grow out of things, that I would change - and maybe I have a bit. But I have come to the realization that some things about me have always been true - and always will be.

I will always be the girl
who kicks off the covers, who needs to hear it, who can't stand still, who loves big dogs, who doesn't know her limits, who thinks too much, who cannot sleep, who wants you to like me, who still can't believe it, who makes up dances while she drives, who hates seafood, who needs this more than you know, who misses the ocean, who can't wait, who hates socks, who hugs other people's kids, who loves mashed potatoes, who loathes my birthday, who wiggles her feet when she sleeps, who holds on too tight, who can't deal with good-enough, who needs the music on, who believes in you, who can never forget.
