Graduation
Is it GOODBYE?
Memories fade
But they’re never lost
Colors change
With time and change of heart
If I hold onto the memories
And use them to guide me
Will you be right here beside me?
Everything I know is behind me
I’m starting a new life
I just want to say, goodbye
The sun has set
On everything we know
Friends we’ve made
I don’t want to let go
After everything that we have learned
It’s our time now, it’s our turn
If I hold onto the memories
And use them to guide me
Will you be right here beside me?
Everything I know is behind me
I’m starting a new life
I just don’t want to say, goodbye
The lights go dim as we suddenly see
It’s time to find who we’re meant to be
We couldn’t wait for this to end
Now we wish we could start again
If I hold onto the memories
And use them to guide me
Will you be right here beside me?
Everything I know is behind me
I’m starting a new life
I just want to say, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We sang together our graduation song. At last, we finished high school! But I’m also sad, I don’t want to leave my second home, I know that I have to move on sooner or later but this school made me experience a whole new lot of things, meet new people and friends.
A tear escaped from my eyes but I wiped it away
I was outside the auditorium (where we held our graduation) greeting my friends and talking with my batch mates when someone familiar jogged towards me
“Hi, Mr. First” he greeted with a smile that I always swooned over.
“Hello Mr. Second” I gave him a small smile when I remembered it might be the last time I’m going to see (or swoon) his smile
“What? No congratulations for me?” I dodge my head slightly
“Nah~ Just talking to you makes me sad remembering maybe it’s my last time to see you or the school again” I sighed
“So~ you gonna miss me?” he smirked
“Eww~ No” I gave a disgusted look (that he might be immune to)
“But really, coz’ I’m going to miss you…..a lot” he whispered but I still heard it
“Yeah~ me too, I will miss my rivalry to the slightest things on earth to the most embarrassing” I nodded and looked away from him to look at our classroom for the last time, and I can actually see the freshman me and him running through the balcony, chasing each other. I giggled at the memory
“You know, I was never actually joking when I said I like you” I stared at him like he was an alien
“I maybe joking every time but I didn’t joke when I said that I’ll finish college and take my father’s place for CEO and marry you afterward, even I was still a second grader” he continued. Yes, he really did tell me that. In fact, as I remember, he told everyone in class that. He stood on his table and said very loudly “I, Kim Myunsoo, will finish college and marry Lee Sungjong”
“Don’t joke around this time Myung, you act, treat and see me just a friend. Heck, you even told me you have a crush on my cousin, remember? Lee Sungyeol?” I argued. How could I forget? It made my heart squeeze very tight that I can’t almost breathe, my voice always cracks and breathe always hitched on my throat. How could I forget how hard I cry every night resulting with puffy eyes in the morning?
“I don’t like him Sungjong, I LIKE YOU. What part of that don’t you understand woman?” he held my shoulders and shook me a bit
“I am a boy Myung” I puffed my cheeks and pried his hands off my shoulder
“And how can you describe how you look at him? Be with him? You’re just like a leech, always there wherever he is” now it was his turn to look at me like I was an alien but as soon as it came, he smirked. The guts of this guy!
“You did notice! I thought all my efforts were gone to waste” the wiped his imaginary sweat on his forehead
“What do you mean, bastard?” he looked at me seriously and composed himself
“I was just using him to make you jealous and by what your reaction is, YOU are jealous, aren’t you?” he asked with a smug expression on his face
I started to blush. I admit I was jealous. That’s when I started to avoid Myungsoo. Sungyeol is my cousin and Myungsoo liked him so what’s the point of me being by his side? I am his friend, enemy and that’s the reason why we are best friends (I know I am weird), he doesn’t need me anymore because he has Sungyeol
“Don’t joke around Myung, I know how much you love Sungyeol” I hung my head low
“Thank God my acting skills paid off” once again he wiped the imaginary sweat he’s been having all year (can you hear my sarcasm?)
“If you’re talking about this. Yes, yes it is Myung, you are really making me believe you” can you hear my sarcasm people? Yes? No? If you don’t, either you just like Myungsoo that much or you’re just deaf!
“God~ how many times should I have to tell you this woman? I LIKE YOU! Do you not get it? I thought you’re the valedictorian for my sake” he waved his hands above his head
“You Kim Myunsoo had to go with a date with my cousin, who you practically used for my sake, and tell me you like me? I thought you we’re the salutatorian” it was my turn to wave my hands dramatically
“I used him so make sure you love me~ can’t you get it? I tease you so I can see your annoyed face because I think it’s adorable, I joke around to hear your laugh, I like to study with you because I like you see your determination through your facial expressions and I made you jealous so that I can make sure you love me back. Is it hard for you to understand?” he raised his voice but slowly trailed away with his eyes sparkling with love and care. I can’t believe this~
“Why can’t you say that to my face? Is it really hard to say that you love me? God~ you’re the jock for Christ’s sake, why can’t you say that to my face? Because there was no other day I didn’t love you Myungsoo~ do you know that? You should’ve known better” I widen my eyes when I realize that I blurted my feeling in his face
“What did you just say?” he smiled and stepped once forwards
“I didn’t say anything Myung, you’re probably hearing things” I composed myself as I stepped backward to keep my personal space
“No~ did I just hear, you………….. love me?” he stepped again and I stepped backward
