The Parting

This morning I dreamt of him
Doing the things we usually do: hang out at somebody else's house
With the same familiar people

Tonight as I gazed at his face,
I realized that he is one of the things I will miss

Lord knows what will happen to us,
me and my college crush

Whom I met plenty of years before
Whom I can only talk to alone, and at night during dinners

But now the dinners are gone and I'll never see him again
As much as I did when we were both students

Now I must leave into an unfamiliar world
Where there is no past and no future
Everything else in the present

Shall I say goodbye to you, my college sweetheart?
The night I held your hand,
the night you walked me home
and the night we sang our songs?

As the cliche goes why say good bye
to all the Good Nights.
