After It's Said and Done

by Samantha - Scorpio

After graduation
After the endless speeches
The hugs
The tears
The friendships hardened by 4 years
And then some
After endless sagas of how they'll never ever leave
And how their going to be there forever
After the hats are thrown into the air
And the cheers that are risen up afterwards
Are long gone
And no longer heard
After the last person leaves to party
And the last chair is taken from the field
After the endless letters of recommendation
The final letter of congratulations
'You got in'
After the shopping for new dorm adornments
The night before everyone leaves
The tears and final goodbyes
Til winter break
After it's all said and done....
The friendships that you thought would always stay
Lose their meaning
Drift apart
The friends who said they'd be there
Lose touch
Never speak
Break away
And the friends you thought you'd never see
Suddenly appear.
