Somewhere

Somewhere between...

I forgot...

Somewhere between the procrastination...

and the homework...

and the incessant forwards...

and the friendships...

and the call 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 forgot...

I forgot what life 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 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 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 life 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 the sending cards to your friends makes you feel better...

But, basically, I just learned that my friends...

Bold 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 even if were not on good terms or we have lost touch...

I still care for you...

~Always and forever love all you guys!~
