July 25... Poem by Julia Pascual

July 25...

We're already in senior year...
Graduation is almost near...
But leaving would never ache...
For bonds would never break...

Tomorrow until forever...
Forgetting would be never...
And so I'll start reminiscing...
Moments I'll be missing...

July 25 so I say...
That day was 'our day'...
Friendship of ours started...
And never it has ended...

The six of us created a tight rope...
The six of us never loosed hope...
With problems I never fear...
For I know you'd always be here...

Though at times we would fight...
But in hours it'll all be alright...
For our friendship we can't hide...
It's much stronger than pride...

Though our attitudes are not the same...
What we have in common is our aim...
And that is to stand strong 'till the end...
Stand strong and never ever bend...

Few months to go, and we'll be leaving...
But we shall never forget our merry doings...
Our tears of laughter, and tears of sorrow...
The way we lead, and how others follow...

The way we go home together everyday...
And at times we meet trouble along the way...
Just simple things that usually make us laugh...
But when I remember, tears are all I'll have...

Surely saying goodbye is never easy...
For I'm sure I'll miss you, and you'll miss me...
But take in mind that this ain't the end...
This is another start, my dear friends...

So as early as now, I say farewell...
To all of you and I hope you well...
I'll be trying to smile as hard as I can...
As I say 'until we meet again'...
