I won't be that girl,
the one who follows "the one"
because he's "the one".
or so she naively thinks.
I won't follow you,
never. and certainly not
to another state-
all the way to Oberlin.
I won't change my mind,
change my life plans and life goals
just to be with you-
for I can survive alone.
I won't even look
for colleges where you do.
I'll stay in the east
and I'll be content with that.
I won't try to go.
So why am I applying
I will let you go.
to Baldwin-Wallace?
