Regret Walking Away

College, its fine, but just that.
I like learning and being around new people, but somehow, I don’t.
Back in June, I told myself over and over, coming here would erase the past.
Well, our experiences are what make us, and that never leaves us.
There’s a lot of cool people here, but it doesn’t feel right.
Deep down inside, I miss my friends, my circle, my group.
I know that everyone’s supposed to go their own way, but it seems depressing that I may not see many of the people I’ve known since 8th grade.
Thinking that college was gonna be a new start was a half-truth, I’m still the same country kid in a damn city.
On Instant Messenger, there’s been quite a few “I miss hanging out with you Mike” comments.
I miss you all too.
Missing those perfectly pointless conversations at lunch, messenger, xbox live at 12:30 AM, and in the car coming back from the movies.
If anything, I regret leaving my hometown behind, because it’s where I grew up, and what made me who I am today.
