i remember it like it was yesterday

I remember it like it was yesterday
Waking up at 6am
Getting ready for school
The tv still on last nights program
Id turn on my favorite playlist 
Pick out my best outfit
Or so i thought
Walking to school as the sun rose
The smell of the cold crisp october air
There's something about the season change
You can smell it
I remember it like it was yesterday 
The way my friends greeted me in the commons
They always waited in the same spot
The sound of 100 conversations 
Laughter from every direction
Everyone was always chippery in the mornings
I don't know if it was the excitement of seeing after 12 long hours
Or if it is something more
Something about seeing your friends as if its been ages
It hasn't been that long 
Back then the days would drag
I remember it like it was yesterday
Loud lunches in the crowded cafeteria 
Outlandish conversations about what high school would be
The smell of the food that always smelt better than it tasted
somewhere along the way the group grew smaller
See you tomorrow's turned into see you next fall
But were still close
Even if its through a screen
Now there's few of us that stayed in touch 
But i miss it sometimes
Even though it was years ago
I remember it like it was yesterday.
