| somewhere i forgot Somewhere b e t w e e n the procrastination... and the homework... and the incessand forwards... and the friendships... 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" & 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 forgot... 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 the 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 love... I learned that it's okay to mess up... And it's okay to ask for help!!... And it's okay to feel like cRuD... I learned it's okay to complain and whine to all of 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 DRiNKiNG 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 things. And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better. But, basically, I just learned that my friends... Both OLD and new... 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!! |
