Friendship
School is over and we're on top of the world,
Our futures ready to be unfurled,
Who knows where we'll be in twenty years;
Married and with successful careers?
Or deadbeats living on each other's floors,
There's just so many open doors!
But as one thing starts, another ends;
For fourteen years we've been best friends,
One summer more and we'll be dispersed,
But we're going to make some memories first,
These times will end before we know it,
So let's not waste a single minute!
I'm loving the rollercoaster ride,
As every day is spent outside,
And though it's sadly undeniable
That we are spontaneous and unreliable,
It only adds to the teenage thrill,
As all our wishes we rush to fulfill,
Staying out most every night,
Then dancing home at morning light,
Sleeping in most every day,
Sending waking hours into disarray,
Delighted smiles in impulsive filming,
Pure happiness captured as bonds are building,
And yet it's scary and sort of strange,
Not knowing how things are going to change,
But one thing's certain as round our necks
Our cherished friendship pendants rest,
As the dawn of a new era arrives,
We know we'll be friends for all our lives.
