Vitamin C - 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
sigh.
i really thank God for the people and the things he has put in my life. victoria and patricia, who'll always feel special no matter wad happens, no matter how much distance there may seem to be. victoria taught me wad love and friendship is about, and patrica remains a special friend in my life. in her i find my love for music flourishing and the deepest emotions surfacing. victoria is like a sister i want to protect and someone that i know will always be there for me. no matter how much time has passed and faded our bonds, i know that they remain the most special people in my life that i never wanna lose. sometimes its really sad to imagine how it would be like when we turn 25, all leading our own lives, awkward even to meet up. would this happen? can we be the kind of ij friends who meet up and cry together 10 years down the road? to be honest, i cant see any common ground to bridge us. no church, no ministry, no school, no workplace, no common friends. would we remain existant in one another's paths, in each another's heart? its hard to tell. there was a moment in time when i felt audrey was important and i didnt wanna lose her as we graduated from P6 hibiscus. there was a time when eunice felt like the bestest mutual friend i could ever find, no matter how many disputes we can have. there was a time when jieying was in my life and seemed like we would stay friends forever. there was a time when joan brightened up my life with inspiration, and when kelly felt like the bestest christian friend i could share God with. but all these emotions of special friendships have faded, i think i have even forgotten how it felt like to be glad they were part of me. time fades so many things and so much feelings. like how i can remember the 2/2 clique so well in my mind, where we had recess and how we went to macs after school everyday, but be devoid with yearning for those times to come back. thats just how some memories are; with such clear details, but be devoid of that special emotion. like how i remember the things bryant or huajia or yan naung ever said and done but dont feel the pining anymore. what if one day all the special people in my life start becoming like that? or perhaps by then somebody else would have replaced them?
i guess for now, im just thankful that he has given me these people. it feels familiar and heart-warming just to meet up with old friends like rebecca or even kelly once in the while. to be able to have reunions with old classmates like rachel or jessica once a year, to bump into eunice or jieying at toapayoh or in bus 154 once in a while. to be able to meet up with vic and pat now, to have someone to call and unload or crap with once in a while. i guess im thankful i fit into my current class, im thankful he gave me a clique that i feel so comfortable with, and classmates like solange or vina that i can mention about God to. im thankful for a family that cares albeit being annoying most of the time. im thankful for having a grandma thats still alive and still having the chance to cherish her. im thankful for ij friends like wyncy that i still see every other day, and the friendship that we have that will always feel special no matter if new friends like lone lone or lina have come into our lives. im thankful that God has taught me wad platonic love really is, by putting friends like lone lone in my life, that love is really regardless of religion nor race.
did i mention i honestly feel my mother is annoying? but i guess most mums turn out the same way no matter how they were in their teens. i hope i dont.
