How often when two people fall in love,
One of them is coerced to move away?
We can't convince our hearts, that they must move,
With people, love just doesn't work that way.

Because of all the love, I feel for you,
Life will be an unrelenting wind.
Love will shadow, everything I do,
Missing you, my heart will be marooned.

In time, of course, my feelings will adjust,
Such pain cannot, inanely be sustained.
Some visits, letters, phone calls will, I trust,
Yearnings quell, and grades must be maintained.

Oh, but I will miss you, miss you dearly!
Until hell ends, I'll be subsisting merely.
I'll wait for the day, when you'll be here,
I'll skip a heartbeat, which you'll fear.
