Next year came so suddenly
I tried to slow it down
To enjoy being at the top
But now its just too late
And times have changed
I will be graduating soon
All my friends have come and gone
Gotta find a way to brush my past away
Logically I'm confused
And I keep breaking down
Cause afterwards I'm going to the military
I will not admit it to anyone
But I am scared and worried
Going away from everyone will be
The hardest thing I have to do
Leaving everything
I have had to know for so long
It will be better but that means nothing
Still I must forget everything
And start anew
For the military will be my new life

That's so sad. The line "It will be better but that means nothing" is especially moving.
You'll make it, though. As much as you're scared or worried, you will make it. -
