| Somewhere b e t w e e n the procrastination And the homework And the incessant forwards And the friendships And the nasty cafeteria food And the calls to each other complaining about crushes Somewhere b e t w e e n the phone calls to old friends And the "I miss you's" And the "I love you's" And the "What are we doing tonight's?" And somewhere b e t w e e n all of the changing; growing.. Somewhere b e t w e e n the classes And the skipping classes And the studying for tests And the pretending to study for tests And the downright NOT studying for tests... I f o r g o t. I forgot what high school is all about. I forgot what it meant to cry I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy. And that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart. I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future. I forgot that you can't control falling in love And that you can't make yourself fall in love. I learned that I can l o v e. I learned that it's okay to mess up And it's okay to ask for help And it's okay to feel like CRAP. I learned it's okay to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day. I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have. I learned that the greatest thing about high school isn't the parties or the hook-ups... It's the friendships, which means taking chances. I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about. I learned that letters from friends are the most important thing. And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better. But, basically, I just learned that my friends Both o l d and n e w Are the most important people to me in the world. And without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. So this is a thank you to all of my friends For always being there and I love you. |
