Putting off the Inevitable

All my life I have pined
For my friends to be forever by my side
To never leave the place we come from
And when parted, I've cried

Each time, returned to the norm
Never truly switching my place
But in only two years
Tears shall stream down my face

A senior in high school
I never thought it could be
It used to be a far-off dream
A day I would never see

But now that goal is closing fast
And all I can do is watch
Now it's not a star on my list
But a large, obnoxious blotch

Every second draws it nearer
Closer all the time
So now I'm forced to ask myself
Was the stupidity forever mine?

Resisting so much a better school
That would rip them from me
Putting off the inevitable
But sadly now I see

They'll be taken from me anyway
No matter what I do
We're slowly falling away from each other
Held together by failing glue

But for now we cling to these moments
We may not have many more
Just two more years of tears and laughter
And we'll head through separate doors
