AFTER GRADUATION
I thought that graduation was the saddest time of my life because I had to say goodbye to so many
friendships and to my routine life. I wrote this after the Thanksgiving holidays when I got to see everyone who
left for college for the first time in months. <br><br>
<p>
It was five months ago we took our separate paths <br>
Fighting hard to make time last<br>
We had fun while we could and shed some tears <br>
Held on to memories as we confessed our fears<br><br>
Few were excited, some were scared <br>
Most of us were sad and not at all prepared <br>
We had to say goodbye to so many faces <br>
As we packed our bags for brand new places <br><br>
At first it was hard because everything was new <br>
Then things got easier as more friendships grew <br>
Time's gone by so fast and we've come so far <br>
But we still remember who our real friends are<br><br>
Once a month phone calls keep us in touch <br>
Letters and phone calls are forced to be enough <br>
Things aren't the way they used to be <br>
Our lives have changed and so have we <br><br>
They said, "Your friends in high school will fade away" <br>
You'll make friends in college and unintentionally stray <br>
Your personality will change and your morals will lower <br>
Then before you know it, old friendships will be over<br><br>
Homecoming and Thanksgiving came then went<br>
Stories were told and time was spent <br>
We've all changed and witnessed different things <br>
But when we're together, nothing's changed it seems <br><br>
Distance has only made us realize we're strong <br>
Though deep down we've known it all along <br>
So wherever you go, whatever you do <br>
Know you'll always have a friend who stands beside you
