I am a leaf
Blowing in the wind
I cannot hold
My emotions
To one tether
Or another.
And yet,
And yet I am attached,
Directly attached
To one
Three thousand
Miles away.
But alak,
Alas,
For she
She is no longer
With me,
For three thousand
Is far too big
For two students
Not yet in college.
And so,
And so I must go on
And yet,
And yet I cannot
For whatever may happen
To me
And to her
I shall always remain
Attached
To her.
