Coming and Going

It seems like we've known 
Each other forever,
All the way back to letting
You borrow my chewed on pencil
In Kindergarten,
To wearing our plaid jumpers
In first grade,
Our "secret" handshake,
Playing Barbie dolls,
Our "pro" tennis team,
Even through those awkward years,
When we were each a 
Head taller than everyone else,
And wracking our brains over 
the impossible Algebra in eight grade,
Then came high school,
And we parted ways a bit,
Different schools and different friends,
Sending cards on birthdays
And Christmas,
Hanging out together every Halloween,
Then on to college,
Our first year is past,
There was the occasional e-mail,
And meeting for the Fall Festival,
Now summer is here,
And we've been having a blast,
Road trips,
Walking on the beach,
Scary movies,
Chillin' at Denny's after midnight,
Watching fireworks over the river,
And running through sprinklers
On private property,
How do we not get in trouble?
It almost seems impossible
To have so much fun,
It's so awesome to have my best friend back,
So what do I do when you leave again?
All my friends seem to be going away,
I guess it's back to entertaining myself,
And meeting new people again!
