Expectations
A big group of friends, my first kiss, late nights under
the stars, crying on my friends shoulder, passing notes
in class, going on adventures, getting out of town,
campfires, telling secrets, falling in love for the first time,
road trips, house parties, driving my own car, getting lost,
endless laughter, happiest years of my life.
Reality
Feeling lonely, staying in, late nights studying for a math test,
waking up early, tiredness, school all day and homework all night,
stressed out, college applications, trapped in a boring town,
pressure, feeling nothing remotely close to love, petty girl drama, fights over facebook, crying too often, spending too much time on the Internet, waiting for the better years to come...
