Two More Years

I am going to leave.

Two more years and I am on my own.

Away from my family.

Gone, never to return.

I will travel the world.

I'll leave and be happy again.

I can live on my own.

I can reach my potential.

 

But, my friends are here.

Oh, how I will miss them.

I know we'll lose touch.

I don't want to lose them ever.

Maybe I'll stay.

Just for now.

I can leave anytime,

Just not now.
