A long, long time ago.. I can still remember...

Today, I looked back at my yearbook, from 2006-2007 (fourth grade). I looked at my class, and realized how many I still talk to. Out of 51 kids (in two classes), I still talk to only about 8 of them. Sad to think I used to have most of their numbers, would hang out with them on the weekends, and went to their birthday parties. Now I just watch most of them play on sports teams, make bad decisions and avoid me as much as possible.

After I had a good laugh at the kids MY age, I decided to look at the now sophomores and juniors. Is it bad that I can look through those two classes and label most of the either "stoner" or "slut"? I mean, I'm not one to label, usually, but so many of those kids have started to do drugs or sleep around, or even both.
Anywho...
I looked back at them, and realized how many of them were my close friends, too...How many of them I say in the halls, now, on a daily basis. How many of the guys I had crushes on, back then, and I still say they're cute, now and then!

I guess my point is, this kinda got me thinking; and thinking's got me down. I miss the innocence. I miss the friendships, and crazy games we'd play at recess. I miss when you had a :"boyfriend," kissing him in the big tire, and then wiping your face, afterwards because boys had cooties. I miss the times where there were no cliques, or groups where you either fit in, or got out. I miss "the good ol' days." And I wish all those people that I was friends with, and all the guys I had crushes on... I wish they'd remember and miss me too... And maybe, if I was lucky, we'd hang out sometime... And we'd all be friends, again.

But those chances are slim, and getting slimmer, as the years pass, and memories fade. Crazy how much you change and grow with society, as you grow up. I just wish... you'd remember....


Memories fade, but love never dies...
