friends forever

[skierla6]

I have always been the oldest kid out of our group of family friends from back home. Its had its pluses and its had its down points. When we were all younger it really made no difference that I was the oldest but I as I grew up things started to change. I've been the older "sister" for the younger girls of the group and just in a way some sort of role model whether big or small. Once I went to highschool I got a lot of crap not from the kids but from the parents. They would always make sure that I would go to events and what not and they always asked me if I would ever not go because I felt I was too old. I also got teased by the kids for acting too mature and stuff, and I know it was all out of good fun. But now that I'm in college I've been getting crap as well and ya know what its time it stopped. Considering my age difference, which to some isn't that great, I've been very cool about everything. I always went to events and I continue to do so because these people are like family to me and nothing will ever change that. I guess they look at another friend of ours that has a daughter one year older then me. We were really good friends for all of our youth but once she hit highschool she stopped showing up to things with her family and now I rarely see her anymore. I guess they think that I'll do the same but I'm sick of it because nothing will change how I feel for them all. It hurts that they think I'll forget about them when they've all had such a major impact on my life, and it pisses me off when I have to hear about how I've "changed" or "matured" because ya know what that happens in life, people get older and change..but I don't see a change, not one bit. People will come and go in life, some will be your friends and others will just be acquaintances. You'll know your true friends because they will be the ones that stick with you through thick and thin, not matter what. I may be away from these people now since at college more so then usual, but that does not mean I will forget about them...the following is one of the first songs I ever wrote and something only this group of family friends will truely appreciate and understand..I'm posting it because, although I don't feel I need to prove myself, I'm showing that I still care and think about them

You are my best friends in the world
and I know you will never leave
And if I ask you for help
I know that you will comfort me
And I know you will always be by my side
Through the good and bad
I have you now and I'll have you
Till the day that we are forced to part

friends forever, friends for life
friends forever, friends for life

we've had our problems
but we've always come out being friends
chunky monkey, patty boy, moses and the blonde
then there's the pyro and little lykel lykel
bringing much more fun

friends forever, friends for life
friends forever, friends for life

you are my best friends in the world
and I know you will never leave
and if I ask you for help
I know that you will comfort me
and I know you will always be by my side
Through the good and bad
I have you now and I'll have you
Till the day that we are forced to part
