Here Is Now

I want to grab onto every moment as it passes I don't want to replace the old with the new I don't want anything to change but I'm satisfied with nothing I don't want to live far from my family but I'm moving out west after graduation I don't want to grow up but I can't wait for my own family to love I don't want to replace the old with the new but the only thing that lasts is change I'm grabbing onto every moment as it passes storing it in my bones and in my notebooks they are the same thing. My spine is the spiral from a 3-subject college bound, my vertebrates the lines between everything that I'm filling up, 5-pages a day. I want to grab onto every moment as it passes write it down and use it to keep myself standing when I'm old and falling as I answer the phone, like my Nana. I don't know where I'm going but I know exactly what I want.
