Poet's note: Once again, I've written this poem for a boy who I fear may be leaving soon. I wanted to express a bitter feeling of knowing that he won't stay around for much longer even though the last thing I want is him gone. This poem is merely one step closer to accepting that not everything beautiful and great can stay.
