Yearbook, by MrsPeterson Subscribe to rss feed for MrsPeterson

Looking through my yearbook 
I wipe a tear from my cheek 
I flip through the pages 
Staring into all the eyes 
Friends and Enemies 
Punks and Preps 
Goths and Goodie 2 Shoes 
Anorexics and Overeaters 
Underachievers and Overachievers 
Guys I'd love to have dated 
And guys I wish I hadn't dated 
Old Best Friends 
And Friends I never thought I'd still have 
One picture stand out the most 
An old friend 
One I've known since I was 11 
Haven't seen her since I was 18 
Graduation was gonna be the greatest 
We were planning it for monthes 
Just 2 days to go 
She didn't make it to school 
Her mom called her in sick 
One day to go 
I visited her at her house 
She wasn't looking well 
She missed school again 
Graduation day 
I went to see her again 
Pulling into her driveway 
An ambulance pulled out 
She died earlier that morning 
I never got to say goodbye 
Wiping away more tears 
I flipped the page again 
Stopping at another picture 
One that made me sob harder 
We were so in love 
Together 2 years 
Thoughts of forever 
4 monthes out of school 
Entering college 
I went away to another university 
3 states away 
He didn't take it well 
He didn't call for a week 
I thought I'd surprise him 
I came home one weekend 
He wasn't home 
Nowhere to be found 
I asked his mom 
She had no clue 
Searching his home 
I walked upstairs 
Into his bathroom I gasp 
Hanging there above the tub 
Written on the wall in blood 
"I loved you" 
Uncontollably crying now 
I fall to the floor 
I am happily married now 
With children of my own 
My daughter is named after my friend 
My son named after my love 
They may be a par tof my past 
But they will never be forgotten
