Graduating Today

Graduation,
saying good-bye,
some may laugh,
yet some may cry.

Graduating and leaving,
this is truly the end,
we won't be coming back,
this isn't pretend.

We get handed that paper,
we walk back to our chair,
all these years we went on,
not knowing that we cared.

We went all this time,
we went all these years,
we've been through so much,
and now we're shedding all these tears.

One last night,
with everyone we love,
we seem to forget all the fights,
and how we used to swear and shove.

The dreams,
that never came true,
the long nights,
with me, her, and you.

All the classes,
all the games,
all the hugs,
and all the names.

It's all over,
we're leaving here,
the end was so far,
but really so near.

Never again,
through these halls we shall walk,
never again,
in the lunchroom shall we talk.

Good-bye dear friends,
we're graduating today,
it's been amazing, but it's over,
what more is there to say?
