Get Through
Here I go again
Saying good bye to all of my friends.
Her yearbook was held tightly to her chest, her smile expressing all the words that were unsaid. Her so-called friends, with there newly manicured nails, were to preoccupied to sign the cumbersome book with well wishes.
Sharpay gave one last smile, leant forward and air kissed their cheeks.
But they all say
"When are we gonna get to see you?"
"So I'll call you"
The shorter yet thinner blonde squealed and clapped her hands "Wonderful" she wiggled her fingers "Tootles"
Sharpay rolled her eyes as she watched them walk away, already making a mental note to erase the short blonde from her phonebook.
She aimlessly wandered through the crowd of students, till she spotted who she was looking for, standing just a few feet away was her boyfriend of two years, he was laughing with his friends. And for the first time since graduating her heart began to ache.
Of course the last 3 weeks, that had meant to be carefree, had been busy with all the preparation of after celebrations and then there was basketball and drama, they had had hardly any time to spend alone together.
She gave a faint smile as he looked up, spotting her, then started to jog toward her.
You know I ain't gone long
Feels like a lifetime
But we'll get through
When you're getting sick and tired of living on the red line
But I can't go for long without coming home to you
She could almost hear him whispering what he had been whispering to her as they passed in the hallways for the last few weeks.
'I ain't gone long' he had joked with a grin.
She was greeted with his arms wrapping around her.
"Hey beautiful"
He pulled back and held her at arms length.
His relief and joy all let out in a few words.
"It's good to see you"
She couldn't contain her giggle.
"You've seen me"
He pulled her back into a hug.
"True, but I haven't gotten to do this in awhile". They stood like that for a few moments.
Cause you just don't know
I said you just don't know
You just don't know
How hard it is to not be by your side
Every night
I guess it's easier if you try.
He pulled back and smiled once more.
"I've missed you"
Sharpay stared down at her hands for a moment. The sudden realization they only had 2 weeks left together, made her sad once more, very soon they were off to different colleges in different states.
She looked up "I'm going to miss you"
"Hey" Zeke stroked her cheek " We're not gone yet".
Refusing to cheer up, she allowed her eyes to fill with tears.
"But we will be"
Zeke sighed.
"Come on" he pulled her by the hand, leaving the loud cheery crowd behind them as he guided her to his car.
Here I go again
Get in my car
Driving miles on end
And I can't begin to bear it anymore than you can
And I don't know
How much more I can take
Before my bones begin to break
But if I stick it and keep with it
I'll become a better man now.
For the first 10 minutes they traveled in silence, each lost in their own thoughts, and it wasn't until they had passed the restaurant where they had had their first date that it was broken.
"It'll only be 6 months"
"And we'll have the nightly calls and the few home for holiday visits" added Zeke as an afterthought.
Feeling tired and unable to say anything, Sharpay smiled, leaning over and resting her head on his shoulder.
"I guess," she finally answered. And as Zeke pulled into her driveway, he turned and gave her a sweet kiss.
"After all" he whispered, "I ain't gone long"
You know I ain't gone long
Feels like a lifetime
But we'll get through
