somebody who cares more about me as a person than as a label, even if that label happens to begin with girl and end with friend. somebody who knows too many jokes and sings in the shower and in the car and in my ear. somebody who hugs like the sunrise and kisses like the rain and isn't afraid to be embarrassing (or embarrassed). somebody strong enough to support my wildness but valid enough to let me fly. somebody who doesn't mind my constant overuse of metaphors and the fact that i don't have a suntan or a flat stomach or perfect vision.somebody special or not special. somebody close. somebody like dot dot dot.
