You never know when the experience could be the last one
Somewhere [B e T w E e N] the ...
procrastination..the homework..the friendships
& the disgusting cafeteria food.
the talks with old friends..the I miss you's
& the I LOVE you's &
the "what are we doing tonight"'s?
somewhere [B e T w e e N] all of the..
changing & growing
& the studying for tests
& the pretending to be studying for tests,
& the definitely not studying for tests...
I almost forgot..I almost forgot what it means to cry ..
I almost forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy
I almost forgot that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart
& that pretending to be ok doesn't make you ok
I almost forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future
& I almost forgot that you can't control falling in love
& that you can't make yourself fall in love.
I learned .. I learned that I can love ..
I learned that it's OKAY to mess up ..
& that it's OKAY to ask for help ..
& that it's OKAY to feel stuck to the bottom of a shoe ..
I learned it's okay to complain & to whine to all of your friends for a whole day ..
that somehow they'll make it all better. [which they do, if they know whats healthy]
I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just CAN'T have ..
I learned the greatest thing about high school ..
isn't gonna be who was the most popular or went to the most parties ..
or the drinking.. not even the hook-ups.
It's the friendships .. which means taking chances.
I learned that sometimes the things we FORGiVE & FORGET
are the things we most need to talk out ..
I learned that letters and notes from friends are the most important things ...
& that sending cards to your friends make you feel better.
but .. basically .. I learned that my friends ... are the most important people to me in the world ..
I take all my chances for them and end up down, sometimes, because of them..in the end,
it's ALL worth it for me.
-I almost had you and I know that doesn't cut it-
