Will you come back for me?
I expect you to stay
but there’s a considerable chance
you might go.

If you leave I don’t think you’ll come back.
I think I understand what people mean
when they say, “just a friend from high school.”
Right now we feel infinite.

But I can already feel you slipping away.
You don’t text me as much as you used to.
You never visited me at work like you promised
There’s still time.

I want to let you go.
But I feel like I’ve let go of enough.
Next year you won’t be in my classes.
You’ll be on a campus 10 minutes or 1000 miles away.

You’ll move on
get older
I’ll graduate too
but the years won’t be the same without you.
