It's funny how a simple border
Can seperate two border towns
That are so close together
But can't share a sound

You said you'd stay for me
Then left the next day.
I know you went to help your mother & let your brothers be.
I know what you told me is true as is everything you say.

You left to finish your studies,
To get a job and save some money.
But you'll also bag out all the honies
As I sit here sadly.

Two years is what your studies will take
Then you'll come back to me, you said.
But meanwhile for my own sake,
We can't continue, our love needs to be dead.

Two years is a very long time.
"It goes fast," you say, "it will seem less."
For me you're worth way more than a dime.
To be able to get you, I'll need my patience.

You want me to wait for you
And we'll be together forever,
But will you wait for me too?
Or will you declare this 'over'?

The rules are simple.
I can find other mates,
Count each other's freckles,
While you can also date.

After the two years are done
You will come back.
I shall be single, my boyfriends gone
And our past love will be unpacked.

How hard is this?
I don't know yet.
I love you, but I would like a kiss
That from another I will get.

I miss you so much
But your game I will follow.
For now I'll forget your tempting touch
And to another's arms I will go...
