Maybe it hasn’t hit you yet
I hope you will see it soon
I’ll be gone in a years time
Gone from your life
At college
Living in a dorm
Not living at home
Studying to get my degree
And the only way to communicate
Is the internet
Or maybe the phone
I’ll see you maybe a few times a month
I wont be there
To protect you
To keep you calm
To fight your battles with mom
You will be here alone
To tell you the truth
I cant wait for that day
When you feel all alone here
Maybe then it will show you
How I’ve felt
For a ½ year
But you were here
that’s the one difference
Maybe then you’d regret
The year & a half
You spent with her
And only her
Maybe on that day
You will realize your mistake
Of deciding that she
Is more important than me
That the time with her
Is more valuable then the minutes
With me
16 years
Best friends since we both could talk
Always together
Connected at the hip
Oh god why
Did you have to take an axe to it?
How come the final year
You decided to spend it
Away from me
How come all of a sudden
She’s the one thing
That makes you happy
Why is it that she
Is all you need
Why is it that you
Only wanna spend time with her
Whatever happened to me?

I agree, I thought the wording was a little weak, it didn't have a lot of imagery, but it wasn't horrible.
I think the idea of this piece is genuine and plucks a couple heart strings of mine. I could kind of relate to this. I don't have a strong relationship with my brothers, but I'm sure at the end of the year when I go off to college I'll miss whatever small thing we had.
I hope that you can spend more time with your brother before you go off to college.
