AND THE HOMEWORK.....
AND THE INCESSANT FORWARDS...
AND THE FRIENDSHIPS...
AND THE CALLS TO EACHOTHER COMPLAINING ABOUT CRUSHES...
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE PHONE CALLS TO OLD FRIENDS
AND THE I MISS YOU'S AND THE I LOVE YOU'S
AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TONIGHTS?
AND SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ALL THE CHANGING ,GROWING
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 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 FORGOT... I FORGOT WHAT SCHOOL WAS ALL ABOUT
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ALL THE OPPOINTMENTS
AND STARBUCKS COFFEES...
AND THE DIET MT.DEWS
AND PAYING BILLS AND THEN NOT PAYING BILLS
MAKING PLANS AND BREAKING PLANS
APPEARING,DISAPPEARING,THEN RE-APPEARING
I FORGOT...
I FORGOT WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO CRY...
I FORGOT THAT PRETENDING TO BE HAPPY DOESNT MAKE U HAPPY...
AND TTHAT PRETENDING TO BE SMART DOESNT MAKE U SMART
I FORGOT THAT U CANT JUST FORGET THE PAST IN FEAR OF THE FUTURE....
I FORGOT THAT U CANT CONTROL FALLING IN LOVE....
AND THAT U CANT MAKE YOURSELF FALL IN LOVE...
I LEARNED THAT I CAN LOVE...
I LEARNED THAT IT IS OKAY TO MESS UP...
AND IT IS OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP...
AND ITS OKAY TO FEEL LIKE CRAP...
I LEARNED IT OKAY TO COMPPLAIN TO YOUR FRIENDS FOR A WHOLE DAY
I LEARNED THAT SOMETIMES THE THNGS U WANT MOST U JUST CANT HAVE
I LEARNED THAT THE GREATEST THINGS ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND THE WORKING WORLD...
ISNT THE PARTIES...
OR THE DRINKING....
OR THE HOOK UPS...
ITS THE FRIENDSHIPS,WHICH MEANS TAKING CHANCES....
I LEARNED THAT SOMETIMES THAT THINGS WE WANT TO FORGET....
ARE THE THINGS WHICH WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MOST...
I LEARNED THAT TIME AND LOVE CAN HEAL ALL WOUNDS
I LEARNED THAT JUST WHEN U THINK IT CANT GET WORSE T DOES...
BUT WITH THE LOVE AND SUPPORT OF MY FRIENDS U SURVIVE...
IVE LEARNED THAT WHEN U START FEELING BAD ABOUT LOSING TOUCH...
THOSE THAT YOUVEE LOST TOUCH WITH ARE FEELING THE SAME WAY...
IVE LEARNED THAT LETTERS FROM FRIENDS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS...
AND THE SENDING CARDS TO YOUR FRIENDS MAKES U FEEL BETTER...
BUT BASICALLY,I JUST LEARNED THAT MY FRIENDS....
BOTH OLD AND NEW...
ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND...
WITHOUT THEM I WOULDNT BE WHO I AM TODAY...
SO THIS IS A THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS...
FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE...
AND EVEN IF WE'RE NOT ON GOOD TERMS OR WE HAVE LOST TOUCH...
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR U
ALWAYS AND FOREVER
BY AKILAH
WEEPING WILLOW WITH YOUR TEARS RUNNING DOWN
WHY DO U ALWAYS WEEP AND FROWN?
IS IT BECAUSE HE LEFT U ONE DAY?
IS IT BECAUSE HE COULD NOT STAY?
HE FOUND HAPPINESS IN YOUR SHADE
U THOUGHT HIS LAUGHTER WOULD NEVER FADE
WEEPING ILLOW STOP YOUR TEARS
FOR I HAVE SOMETHING TO CALM YOUR FEARS
YOU THINK DEATH HAS RIPPED U FROM ME
BUT I KNOW HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN YOUR HEART
VADA
DONT WALK IN FRONT OF ME I MAY NOT FOLLOW
DONT WALK BEHIND ME I MAY NOT LEAD
JUST WALK BESIDE ME AND BE MY FRIEND
