Somewhere between the procrastination, the homework, the friendships, and the nasty cafeteria food, the calls to old friends,the I miss yous,and the I LOVE yous,and the What are we doing tonights?

Somewhere between all of the changing and growing,and the skipping classes, the studying for tests,the pretending to be studying for tests,and the downright not studying for tests;I forgot.

I forgot what it meant to cry.

I forgot that pretending to be happy doesnt make you happy,

I forgot that pretending to be smart doesnt make you smart,and that pretending to be ok doesnt make you ok.

I forgot that you can't forget the past if you are afraid of the future.

I forgot that you can't control falling in love,and that you cant make yourself fall out of love.

I learned.

I learned that I can love .

I learned that its ok to mess up, and its ok to ask for help,and its ok to feel like crap.

I learned its ok to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day. That somehow they'll make it all better .

I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just cant have, and I learned that the greatest thing about high school isn't going to be who is the most popular or going to be the parties or the drinking not even the hook-ups . . . Its the friendships, which means taking chances.

I learned that sometimes the things we forgive and forget are the things which we most need to talk out.

But, basically, I just learned that my friends, Both old and new, Are the most important people to me in the world .

This is so amazing. I can't tell you how much I love this. Im just blown away.
One of my favorite lines was, "I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy."
This poem means alot to me. Thanks for sharing.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold
