And 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 cus we're on a different track
And if you've 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 it was me and you, and then it got real blue,
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We would get so excited, and we'd get so scared,
Laughing to ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels,
As we go on, we remember
All the times we've had together,
And as our lives change
From 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 that joke 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 thinking that it's not good-bye,
I keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
As we go on, we remember,
All the times we've had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
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 around?
Will this memories fade when i leave this town?
I keep thinking that it's not good-bye
I keep on thinking it's a time to fly.

Who remembers this song playing at the Grad last year? We all bawled like babies! And still, listening to it can bring tears to my eyes. We all lost touch, we all grew apart, but yet this song reminds me of us all so much! Don't just skim over it, go back and read each line and think about how it applies. Brittany made me think about a lot today. Some of it was pretty sad, happy to think about, but sad when we think about it now. We all had some really great times. Times that we're never going to forget, and I hope we still can have some. I hope no matter what we'll all keep in touch in some form. I hope no matter what memories like "I do believe in fairies" or "Party in the seat!" or "Brent! Get down!" Or "Bikini village!" never fade. I hope we remember everything.

Thanks Britt, for helping me remember how much i forgot.
