Never Say Goodbye

There almost always comes a time where people transition from one phase into another.  Everyone experiences these changes, and they're a very normal step in everyones lives.  So, on this day of Graduation for so many of my friend, I would like to congratulate them and wish them well.  I will always remember what ridiculous shenanigans we caused, and I hope that we'll make many more in the future.  We'll be separated by many things (trees, towns, land, seas, time) but I know that we'll find a way back to each other some time in our lives.  Whether it be continuous contact online, an occasional meet-up, or me watching you through your window, we will find a way.

Being the endless geek master I am, I can't help but think of a song for this situation. Now, I know what you're thinking. "OMG She's thinking of that Vitamin C song rabble rabble izpooop" and, my friends, you are wrong.  Well, you would have been right last night for a short while, but there's a song that I find much more appropriate to the situation.  While the Vitamin C graduation song blabs about remembering back and is all sad and depressing and horrible, the song I'm thinking of gives promises of friendship and the future.  So what is this amazingly appropriate song? "Days of Summer" by Darren Criss from A Very Potter Sequel.  Yeah, I know, I'm a little obsessed with Starkid, but it's just so appropriate!  I know that for the past few days when I've heard it I've started to well up before I realized that it's not an end, it's just a change.  Now, this acceptance of change and the future will probably not stop me from crying my guts out, but it will help me to keep in contact with these people (a problem I have sometimes).

The real moral of the story is that while this is a huge gigantic milestone in their lives, I know one thing that will not change, and that's my love and support for them.  They are all fantastic, beautiful, talented people with amazing dreams for the future that I know that they will achieve and probably exceed.   So today is for them, for their families, and for their futures.  I may miss them terribly in my everyday life, but I know that they will be there for me when I need them, and I will do the same for them.  Goodbye is not an option for us.

RON:

We've got these days of summer

To remind us of each other...

HERMIONE:

The time we have to spend apart

Will keep us in each other's heart...

HARRY:

I'm hoping that the good ole' days are

Something I will dream about at night...

DRACO:

Don't matter if it's soon or later,

I know that it's gonna be alright!

HARRY, DRACO, RON, HERMIONE:

I don't wanna see you go,

But it's not forever, not forever!

Even it was,

You know that I would never let it get me down.

You're the part of me that makes me better,

Wherever I go!

So I will try

Not to cry--

But no one needs to say goodbye...

[DANCE BREAK]

ALL:

I don't wanna see you go,

But it's not forever, not forever!

Even it was,

You know that I would never let it get me down.

You're the part of me that makes me better,

Wherever I go!

So I will try

Not to cry--

But no one needs to say goodbye!
