it’s cutting your hair and packing your bags, it’s drinking champagne in your best pair of jeans. it’s growing out bangs, unbuttoning shirts – to think yours had been closed up to the throat, all these years – and everything, all white. it’s sunburned noses and no makeup, it’s less backward glances and more plans for the future. it’s holding a conversation and making eye contact, it’s meeting a man and letting your feet grow roots. it’s more music, less running, more danger, and more safety, and it’s finally, having a taste for the classics.
