If you knew me

If you knew me you'd know that

I'm a kid at heart.

& I hate growing up

& cats.

You'd know I love watching the storms roll in

& hate watching people go.

You'd notice this necklace I wear every day and you might ask why.

But you might not.

You'd know I love to drive with the windows down.

All the way down.

But sometimes my walls can't seem to be that way.



You'd know that I wish I could be more confident.

You'd know that I'm afraid

of tomorrow

& yesterday.

& I don't know why.

You'd know that I'm the most sentimental

& sensitive person I know.

& that I cry about Disneyland.

& I cry in the movies that no one else cries in.

& books that no one's read

& I feel like crying while reminiscing.  But why does that have to be such a sad thing to do?

I wish I could catch the teardrops in my hands but

everything slips through my fingers.

But if you knew me you might not know these things.

If you knew me you might not even know me.

So hi

I'm [Adeline Stone]

Let's see where this goes.

Let's get to know each other.
