Graduation
I've walked this hall so many times
With pictures and stories-
They're now going through my mind.
Of memories and inside jokes
How can I leave this all behind?
Where'd the time go?
The shadows of my teachers helping me
Teaching me, joking with me still linger in each room.
I can still feel the warmth of a friend's hello
Passing me in the hall each day,
I'll never forget
The jokes
The broken hearts
The spirit
The smiles
The laughs
The trends
The perfect days
The not so perfect days
The frustration
The ticking of the clock
The wanting to leave
And now actually wanting to stay.
Tell me how to say goodbye
As I walk down this hallway this one last time.
Now I have the cap in my hand
A gown I never thought I'd be in
Tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.
I never thought this bittersweet day would come.
And it's now that I realize it's over.
It's now that I understand that I am gonna miss it all.
Tell me what it takes to say goodbye
As I walk out that door one last time
Forgetting for one second that I'm not a student anymore-
I'm a graduate.
