somewhere between the procrastination and the homework;
the incessant forwards and the friendships;
the calls to each other complaining about crushes and bf/gf.
Somewhere between the phone calls to old friends;
the "i miss you's", the "i love you's" and the "what are we doing tonight's?"
somewhere between all of the changing and growing;
somewhere between the classes and the skipping classes;
the studying for tests and the pretending to "study" for tests;
the downright not studying for tests;
i forgot - i forgot what school was all about.

somewhere between all the appointments, starbucks coffee, and McDonald's;
paying bills and then not paying bills;
making plans then breaking plans;
appearing, disappearing, then reappearing;
i forgot - i forgot what it was like to cry.

i forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy;
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;
you can't make yourself fall in love and i learned that i can love.
i learned that it's okay to mess up;
it's okay to ask for help;
it's okay to feel like crap;
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;
and the things that you look for are right in front of you.
i learned that the greatest thing about high schoool
is that it isn't about the parties or the drinking or the hookups..

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 time and love can heal all things;
and that just when you think it can't get worse - it does!
but with the love and support of friends - you survive.
i've learned that when you start feeling bad about losing touch
and about those that you've lost;
they too, are feeling the same way.

i learned that letters from friends are the most important things;
and 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. ♥
