The future really scares me
It never crosses my mind very often
but when it does all I can feel is that impending sadness
I think of my grandparents,
will they see me walk down that aisle?
I think of my friends,
will they congratulate me when I’m promoted?
It seems to be more of who will leave
then who will stay
And that haunts my days
Will I come home from college
and be greeted by my dogs?
It’s scary to think that those things,
those things I hold so close
may not be there at my best
while the future is full of successes
why should that matter if those I love
won’t be there for me to see at those best times
