"with a name i'd never chosen"

I know I'll freak out some more because I'm not an adult yet and being like the old me sometimes is just what comes naturally.
I'm going to try hard to be an adult in this situation.
I'm going to try hard.

"got my vans on"

You were a high school shepherd and someone I've missed in the past year.
Things changed once you drove up sometime after I walked up.
I was all too grateful for the missed call and the fellowship.
To hear to talk about the worst and see you smile.
I love that I know whose side I'm on now.
old roots.
There was a lot of hope that I was finally able to rest in.
I couldn't really rest before as I spoke with you under pine trees and near bell towers.
There was silence then and apologies.
I'm just glad that you're past that.
I find myself resting in your quiet stories and your perfect analogies.
To know that you're gonna be ok.
With or without tea.
