"Graduation (Friends Forever)"

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1]

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

[Repeat 1 (3x)]

I have known some of you for many, many years. Some of you I have known less than one. Regardless, as I sit here, typing this, I'm crying. I'm crying because I'm about to go into mourning. I'm losing you all. You're all about to embark on this big adventure, and I'm being left behind. I feel as if I have yet to catch up with you, mentally and emotionally. In many ways I'm still really immature. So please, forgive me, while I'm being a bit selfish.

I'm not ready to lose you all. I'm not ready for the days when I can just call you up and see you in the same hour to be over. I'm not ready for you all to depart to different cities, different states even. I don't want any of you to go. I'm really selfish like that. I want to keep you all here with me forever so that I won't have to be alone again. I don't think I can do that. But, I know I can't do that. That is why I'm crying as I type this up.

You are all about to go off and become these great, amazing people. You've been slowly evolving into these fantastic men and women as I sit here and watch you. I feel as if I've been left behind. I feel as if I'm just now barely catching up. And now, you're all leaving me behind again.

Oh, God. I'm going to miss you all. You're all obnoxious asses and you all get on my nerves to no end and sometimes I just want to take an AK-47 to the lot of y'all...but I love you guys. You are my family. You have all been there whenever I've needed you. And I feel as if I have never reciprocated. I want that chance. I want to be there for you when you need me. I don't see how I can do that if you leave me.

Although, I doubt highly that any of you will ever need me. Because you will succeed--"Yes! You will, indeed!(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS! ...you're off to Great Places!"

I have so much faith in you guys. You have never let me down. I wish, I hope, that you can say the same thing about me. I'll miss you guys so, so much. I don't know what I'll do without you all right here next to me. You are my moxie, my courage, my bitchiness. You are all a part of me; I can feel myself being ripped to shreds. But I'm glad because I know that it means you'll all do great things. I want you to know how proud I am of each and every single one of you. I want you to know that I feel blessed to have been allowed to be a part of this leg of your journey and I hope that I can continue to be a part of your amazing lives.

Thank you for taking me in like you have. Thank you for tolerating me like you have. Thank you for loving me; thank you for hating me. Thank you for all the times we have laughed, all the times we have cried, and all of the times we have laughed until we cried and vice versa. I love you all with all of my heart (though some may protest it is made of stone). I'll miss you all. Go on and do the great things I know you are destined for.

Love x infinity,
Megan
