"...the long day is over..."
Well. One by one they've left. Laura. Then Yahsin, Lauren, and Alicia. Next is Bret. Bethany is leaving, kinda. And Justin is following suit. Ever feel like you were the last one standing in an empty room? Or have you ever thought that you screamed at the top of your lungs and no one could hear? How about telling everyone around you how you feel, and then having all of them move away slowly? Maybe I'm just insane- but I miss all of them. I know they're a phone call away. But that's different. I'm sitting here with a candle, and just thinking back on the past year. I miss it. A lot.
I'm so happy for all of them. They have it all together, it seems. (Keyword there, "seems"). Whether or not they think they're doing 'okay', all my friends are doing great. I hope you all know that... I really do. I love you all so much, and I just want you all to realize that if you ever need me, I'm here. Not to sound too cheesy (oh wait-- too late!), but I miss you. I do. I guess this is a long distance "Miss You" card on LiveJournal.
We made the senior year fun. We had great times at China Garden. We partied our asses of at the beach. We laughed, and killed each other. I feel like after Bret goes away, the last candle will be blown out on "The Posse". I know we're all still friends, but like I said, it's not like it was. I hope, though, that we re-unite the posse every once and a while.
I love Wise, don't get me wrong. But, I'm so ready to leave. I've been looking forward to leaving, for what seems like, forever. What's kind of funny, is that the days seem to drag by now. But, at the same time, the go by fast. It's already September. Only three more months before I'm gone. I hope I'm making the right decision. I hope I'll be okay. I hope all my friends will be okay.
You know what I want it to be? I want it to be like last December, when we all hopped in a car and drove three hours to see the State Girls' Basketball Game. We were all together then. We had what seemed to be the right amount of time together. We ate at O'Charley's, stole the pepper mill. Stayed at Laura's family's house. Or, it could be that little Christmas Party at my house. We pranked everyone (including KMart), and we just chilled.
But if I could have it my way, just for another day, I would go to China Garden on Saturday with Bethany. We'd eat the "free" buffet, and talk with Yahsin. Justin would come by, and Bret would've already been there. Alicia would have called on the cell phone, and Lauren would come in, too. (And Weezy would've driven by blasting "Hot in Herre".) Is it bad for me to feel lonely, when I'm still surrounded by my friends?
But I guess, it's better the way it is. Everyone is where they need to be. Fate is working her magic.
The sun will rise, and I'll be okay tomorrow.
