I look back on the first day of freshman year,

And just like that, summer is once again near.

A time for nothing but friends and fun,

But a time I now wish didn’t have to come.

Ignoring the fact that it’s cliché,

I have learned it’s true what they say,

You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

If given the chance, I wouldn’t change a thing,

Even the restless nights spent on a box spring.

Or people in my room keeping me up late,

Or waking up too early for my class at eight. 

I miss my old life with each passing day,

But I’ve realized it’s true what they say,

Stuff might happen, but life goes on.
