it may actually happen.
this may actually be it.
you can't be scared.
you and him may be that one in a million.

yes, he's off at college.
yes, you're stuck in the suburbs.
but he says he loves you and you shouldn't convince yourself you don't feel the same because of fear; because it might actually happen. you may actually have found the man you will spend forever and a day with.

yes, he's off at college.
but that doesn't mean it isn't real.

you say you're drawn in by other men, but that's what they are there for. to draw you in, but only for a little while. they don't satisfy you. not the way he does.

yes, he's off at college.
and it's hard to believe you are satisfied when you feel like you don't have anything.

sooner or later he will come back. and those boys you left him for will disappear and you find yourself standing between nothing and him. NOTHING and him. so which will you choose?

yes, he's off at college.
but you're obviously on his mind.

what will be on YOUR mind? when YOU are off at college?

maybe him.
