That time of year has come around again,
That time when everyone feels bittersweet,
That time when we must say bye to a friend,
That time...what cruel person turned up the heat?!
The seniors are going off to college,
All the rest start taking their darn finals,
The stress pushes everyone to the edge,
Time to listen to those soothing vinyls.
I think the most tragic part of it all,
Apart from our role models leaving us:
After high school, we let the friendships fall,
They disintegrate without half a fuss.
The friendships made in high school are clay,
If they are not handled with care, they break.
At what point did “friendship” cease to exist,
And “love” became what is filling the air?
We’re becoming more than friends, let’s face it,
Let’s be honest with ourselves, let’s be fair.
I can’t believe that you could be this kind,
I would thank you, but I can’t say it right,
I’d know it sounded better in my mind,
I guess I’ll sleep on it, just one more night…
You have no idea how strongly I feel,
When I’m around you, my pulse starts to rise,
Please know that my heart’s my Achilles heel,
I ask you not to become my demise.
“Each time I see you, I sing like a jay…”
No, that’s not right. Give me just one more day.
