I wish I

Could’ve known you

For longer.

I wish that

You didn’t have to 

Go to college and 

Leave me behind.

I went to your

Graduation

And your party,

But

I didn’t cry

Until I got home and realized

That you were

Leaving me behind.

I didn’t cry until the next 

Sport,

Class,

And extracurricular came and

You weren’t there.

I would turn around

Go to say

Something

Anything

To you.

But, 

You weren’t there.

And I bet that

College is treating you well

And you don’t 

Think about me

As much as 

I think of you. 

And now I cry

Because I’ve realized

That you’ve

Left me behind.
