Friends Forever

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

 As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So many people walk in and out of our lives every single day. I once read somewhere that everyone who walks into your life is there for a reason.They fulfill the task , the reason, that they had come for and leave. They may not leave long lasting footprints on your life but somewhere something changes. No matter how small or how finite.  
This thought for all of them who have came and are lost somewhere in my mind and for all who came and decide to stay(Lucky me).
 I have been of of the lucky few who ended up having a huge group of friends when i was in college. Though college was fun, i hardly think I knew how important they were to meet until we all were out of college and there was just  no time to meet. I don't know how we have kept it together as yet but we meet often enough to be just as up to date with each others lives as we were in college.The gossip still goes on and jokes still are extremely funny.We all have much more money in our pockets now and our expenditures have gone way way up. Vodka replaces the coke and branded clothes the off the road linking road shopping, rickshaws and buses are replaced by cars and bikes... but what remains the same is the crazy name calling (vakola bombshell , scratchy, weedly , pappy, ava, dabs, daddy,chameeto,shrimp...), the inclusion of us who suck at it  in the sports being played, the times when we sill have to sit down on the road cause we have ended up having  laughter fit over something silly said to someone or about someone....  the list goes on and all of this is so much a part of me now. What these people got to my life is life itself. I dont think i knew what friends were before i met these people. I love all of them so much . No matter where in the world i maybe. There will never be a group of people in my life i will love as much as i love these guys.None i could live with so easily and none i can forgive any faster no mater what they do.

Next came the huge big bad world of work and all the formal relationships that come along with it  and just when i thought i will never meet any friends here i met a few more. Some religiously crazy, some that never grew up, some that loved to dance ..one gal that i met for a few months and i know will stay in my life forever(and if she ever reads this i am sure she will comment 'How cheesy'...), one friend who is the craziest senior i have ever met :P ..Days went by listening to film stories and gossips. The only reason i think i dint find the corporate world so cruel was because of these people. And now that yet another chapter is about to begin i have two more friends in my life who have lit up my world. Chating till two bout hottest film stars and sobbing bout incomplete assignments. We just have built a world of our own.

These people who have walked into my life have not just left their footprints in my life but covered me completely ..immersed me in their light. They have made me see things in a way i would i refused to agree existed in the 1st place. Their company provides a place where i cant resist being me no matter how hard i try . They make me who i am. Cant thank them enough for just being here with me.
