Promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep

When people think they’re always right
When people can’t fight their own battles
When people think they’re smarter than everyone else
School in general
People in general
Noise and light when I’m trying to sleep
When people try to have the last word
Everything

I’m so sick of people telling me that I can’t do something. Telling me I can’t get into my dream school, that I can’t find a job with my major, that I’m naive to think I can be in love at seventeen. My brother started dating his girlfriend of seven years when he was nineteen, they’re getting engaged this summer. Austin’s nineteen, who’s to say I can’t be his future wife? Because I’m in high school? Being in high school is no excuse to tell me that I can not have a future with him. My boyfriend of a year an a half is more than just a fling. I don’t date him to go out and do exciting things, just sitting watching our nightly Newlywed Game reruns is enough for me. Spending the weekend with his family, walking in Red Bank, listening to him play the guitar is all enough for me. He’s the only person who I can be around every single day and not get sick of them. We fight, and their always my fault, but he says sorry anyway. He takes my flaws, accepts them, and still calls me beautiful anyway. He doesn’t fight my battles, he supports me through them. He genuinely cares about me as much as i care about him. My parents think I need more dating experience, my friends think high school relationships are unrealistic, but I don’t need them to tell me who I can and cannot love. Next year he’ll have a house that’ll always be having parties. When I choose my college, it might be a distance from his. I already know different problems that will be in our future but I’m willing to accept them an work with them when the time comes. I know we can make it through anything that comes our way because we’ve already made it through the impossible. I love my boyfriend and I don’t need to prove anything to anyone.
