Somewhere b e t w e e n the gossip, the homework,
the friendships, and the nasty cafeteria food, the calls
to old friends . . . the I miss u's . . . & the I LUV u's..
And the What are we doing tonight's? . . . somewhere
b e t w e e n all of the changing and growing And the
skipping classes, 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 doesnt
make you happy . . . I f o r g o t that pretending to be
smart doesnt make you smart . . . And that pretending
to be ok doesnt make you ok . . . I forgot that you cant
just forget the past in fear of the future . . . I forgot that
you cant control falling in love . . . And that you cant
make yourself fall in love . . . I learned . . . I learned that
I can love . . . I learned that its ok to mess up . . . And
its ok to ask for help . . . And its ok to feel like crap . . .
I learned its 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 cant have . . . I learned that the greatest
thing about middle school is not who is the most popular
or the parties . . . Or the drinking not even the hook-ups . .
Its the friendships, 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..
^^^^^^^^ I love that ^^^^^^^^^^^^
