When I was 5 my mother told me the key to life is happiness. My teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. She said I didn&#039;t understand the assignment. I told her she didn&#039;t understand life.<br /> -John Lennon (Revised)

What happened to us?
We used to be best friends.
Now things have changed,
With all the drama going around?
We aren't the same.

What happened to us?
We used to be so close.
Joined at the hip,
But now?
It's like we're all said and done.

What happened to us?
We use to call everyday.
Now we're surprised,
When that little phone rings.

What happened to us?
I ask it everyday.
All I want,
is for us to be,
just like old times.
So tell me my friend,
What happened to us?

This is to my bestfriend. We're close again but after drama and school happened we grew apart. I was scared I had lost her forever. She's like family.

...one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love....I love...I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy
