the stage of in between

i never meant to be rude, please understand.

but the truth is time

ain't in our hands.

and it's good you're here, but it's good that i'm not.

cause if i did still go here, i'd be missing a lot.

i've moved on in mind, and maybe heart too, but that doesn't mean i've moved past or above you.

it's just different, i guess i'll say you'll see.

i can't deal with the fact that the seniors are one year behind me.

and though it may seem silly,

this ain't home without my peers.

here is jenny and reba and all those i grew with over the years.

so forgive me for being shy

i know that thought seems strange

i never thought in a million years

so much would have changed

but life without cannot be gauged

just from a summer break

it's only when you have nothing to lose

that you know how much is at stake.
