Coming back to school evoked a lot of feelings. I'm not really one for poetry, but I gave it a shot. Here's what came to my mind:
Walking onto the campus that I missed every day
From the cold house I was in
And into the new room I was so excited to have as my own
Stumbling over the same stone paths
And did I mention it's a beautiful day?
Seeing some old friends
But not feeling that same spark
I was spoiled
And, I'll say it, I'm sad
Oh, hey, look at the moon
I've always been a 'hey, look at the moon' kind of person
But it doesn't matter because I know our skies aren't the same color
I'd send you a picture, but it won't come out
And you're the only thing I've ever known to be as magical as it seems
The buildings look the same
There are a few new faces
But the air is different
The energy is different
I'm different without you
And I know it's temporary
But I won't pretend that these aren't going to be the longest 5 months ever
We redefined friendship
And nothing can compare
So I sit at dinner
Struggling to contribute to conversation
Not having anything relevant to say
Or anyone who cares enough to really listen
All I see are relationships that I risked and ruined
For my own sake
Nice move
And I think
Did I make a mistake?
Should I have just gone?
Couldn't I have taken the chance?
But that's not me
If that's even a good enough reason
So I close my eyes
And when I wake up
It's morning
It will always be morning
