Six Years (Vent Poem)

I can read through the conversations

We've had in the last week

In under five minutes

You're busy with exams and sleep

And I've always got to do something

I'm not trying to complain

It's simply irritating

That the only way I see you

Is through a shitty webcam

On a backlit screen

And I wish, I wish it wasn't like this

I wish I could see you

I wish I could be with you

But that won't happen

Not for another six years

And it hurts to think that

In that period of time

We might have moved on

You might have forgotten me

Our conversations might have dwindled to nothing

And then I'll be alone

Because, without you, I am nothing

You shaped my personality

You helped me learn to draw

You were my everything

And I hope you know that

And someday, maybe

We'll see each other again

But I highly doubt it because

Six years? That's forever

And friendships don't last

And I pray that ours is different

But somehow I know

That a part of me is screaming

That in the end

By the time we get to uni

We probably won't be friends.
