At first I was not sure about you.
You seemed friendly enough.
And even though we had a disagreement,
We were able to emerge from that.
I hope you don't think negative of me,
Because I don't think negative of you.
You are funny and even though we cannot always communicate.
We seem to work it through.
Later, we will go separate ways.
And I hope we can meet again.
I want to see how you grow as a person.
From now till then...
You harbor a lot of potential,
And I cannot wait to see,
Where that leads you-
How that teaches you.
This college is only the beginning you know.
I do not wish for an end to your journey.
Rather, I'm excited to see,
How beautiful you become,
And not because of me.
You, alone, have the strength,
And the will to proceed.
One day I hope to reunite with you,
By then I'll be closer to accomplishing my dream.
