Somewhere...Somewhere b e t w e e n the procrastination,and the homework,and the incessant forwards,
And the friendships, and the nastycafeteria food,
And the 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 and growing . . . Somewhere b e t w e e n the classes, And the skipping classes, And the studying for tests, And the pretending to be studying for tests, And the downright not studying for tests, I forgot . . . I forgot what it meant to cry . . . I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn’t make you happy . . . I forgot that pretending to be smart doesn’t make you smart . . . And that pretending to be ok doesn’t make you ok . . . 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 . . . I learned that I can love .. I learned that it’s ok to mess up .. And it’s ok to ask for help . . . And it’s ok to feel like crap..I learned it’s ok to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day..That somehow they’ll make it all better..I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can’t have..I learned that the greatest thing about junior high isn’t gonna be the parties..Or the drinking or the hook-ups. .It’s the friendship, which means taking chances..I learned that sometimes the things we forgive and forget are the things which we most need to talk out..I learned that letters from friends are the most important thing. .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 the person I am today . .So this is a thank you to all my friends...I love yOu
i heart you geoff
