mom just told me that you are leaving for college in about a week.

she told me which school you chose, too.


and now im crying on the couch.

its really a mixture of sad and happy tears.

happy, because im so damn proud of you.
i know you are gonna do amazing things.
i know that you are going to be such a fantastic student and i couldn't be happier for you.
and i love you so much.

sad, because i wish i could tell you that.
because you are going away

and i wont be able to say goodbye,
or help you set up your dorm room,
or give you one last kiss
or surprise you with a visit that you didnt know about
or make you come home for prom and homecoming.

instead, ill just sit on the couch and cry

and hope you just know
how proud of you i am.
























just remember how much i love you
until you come back home
