Know Me

If you really knew me

you'd know that I like Winter more than Summer

Because there's something about being warm

when it's cold

You'd know that I really like the song

Come on Eileen

And that they didn't play it at prom

You'd know that what I think people think

And what they actually think

Are very different.

You'd know that "I'm secretly in love with Alta June"

You'd know that I like slow songs

Because the beat matches my heart better

You'd know that I think Nelson

Is just an older version of me

But more bald.

You'd know that I still ask my mom for advice on girls

You'd know that I don't know

To say how I feel

Without feeling guilty

You'd know that I've spent most of my nights

Getting ready to go somewhere

With friends who haven't invited me yet.

You'd know that I've done a lot of waiting

You'd know that I waited for three years to tell her

How I feel

You'd know that I can't sleep with socks on

You'd know that the majority of my hikes

Are spent bushwhacking 

You'd know that after high school

I probably won't have a social life

And I'm ok with that

Sort of

You'd know that I care a lot about people I don't know

And I really do care about you

Because I believe that people are good

You'd know that I didn't reach my peak

Because this is high school

I'm 18.

You'd know that ending blog posts are hard for me

And that saying goodbye 

Is something I try to avoid

But I guess it's inevitable 

So thanks

And 

Good luck to you
