Never grow up

I am going to admit my love for Taylor Swift to the world right here, and right now. My husband disagrees very much with this passion, but as I tell him whenever she comes on, he can get over it. This is probably one of my favorite songs on her newest album, for many reasons, but simply because of how sweet it is. Here are just a few of the lyrics: 

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light 

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple 

I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

I look at T and want him to always have the innocence that he has now. I want him to always want to know how things work, and see the world as one big playground. I want him to always want to have a sense of adventure, a sense of wonder. I want him to know that thinking outside the box is okay, and that not everyone has to be just alike. In a world of keeping up the everyone else, I want him never to forget who he is, and how special he is. I want him to keep the smile and laughter that he has now, and know that no one can bring him down if he doesn't let him- that as long as he sets his mind to something, he can achieve it.

Don't you ever grow up
(Never grow up)
Just never grow up
