What will life be like when I leave this place,
will it really change so much it’s like a new world,
will I get to see any friendly old face,
or is it alone into this new life I will be hurled.
Will I get to see you anymore,
will I get to talk to you every night,
or will you be behind a locked door,
I won’t let that happen without a fight.
In just two years I’ll be leaving my school,
I’ll be going to a college to learn a lot more,
but without you I am just a fool,
and I’ll be empty right down to the core.
I don’t want to leave school because I can’t leave you,
without you I can’t make it in a world this cruel,
if you were gone I don’t know what I’d do,
I’d lose the will to live, because you are my fuel.
Leaving this place is a scary thought,
it seems like a distant nightmare,
but it can’t be fought,
it’s a reality for which I must prepare.
But how do you prepare to be torn from those you love,
and dropped into a new world with no one you know,
it would be like going into the universe so high above,
I really don’t want to go.
If I were given half a chance,
I’d make up my mind right away,
school would become an eternal dance,
and in this place with you I would stay.
