College Bound


My boyfriend is a senior and he doesn’t have long He has 6 college offers 2 are in IL, but not in Chicago I can deal with that 4 are in other states, nowhere near Chicago Ain’t nobody got time for that! When he told me I tried to as happy as I could But he could tell and he understood I’m afraid to lose what we have built I am afraid to lose our friendship I am afraid to never feel his touch again I am afraid we lose each other But most of all I’m afraid that I might lose him If he doesn’t leave Chicago He’ll just be another number A number that will not be recognized One of many murdered teens who didn’t make it So I will congratulate you on going away to school Because I would rather talk to you long distance Than not to talk to you at all I love you and good luck
