i’ll be a little stereotypical
and look to Taylor Swift to relate,
but you’ve probably realized
i’m not always so predictable.

a decade doesn’t matter to me,
whether or not society agrees.

we’re both people here,
with goals and pasts
and a longing to go
where we belong.

we’re both people here,
always different from the next,
but perhaps not so different
from each other.

maybe it’s the youth in me
that lends me this optimism,
or it could be the intensity
of this feeling inside of me.

i’ll hold on to this hope,
so if you ever come around…

what’s there to lose
from taking this chance?
