Post Graduation

Waktu itu sekitar bulan Juni ketika lagu ini sedang rame - rame nya diputar di radio. Theme song semua prompt. Semua station pasti muterin lagu ini dan request nya mendadak kenceng di bulan Juni padahal ini lagu udah lama banget. Iya, pada bulan Juni ketika musim - musim nya prompt, graduation, perpisahan atau apa pun itu.

Lagu nya vitamin C - graduation, the best graduation song ever ! [selain karena judul lagu nya memang Graduation]

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excitedand we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Yang gw inget dari lirik itu adalah ketika menjelang wisuda SMA gw, di malam di bulan Juni. Sahabat - sahabat gw berkumpul di rumah gw. Padahal waktu itu kita lagi sibuk - sibuk nya PKL. Beberapa bulan kita sudah nggak kumpul - kumpul setelah PKL. Entah kenapa tiba - tiba muncul lagu ini di kepala gw [padahal waktu itu kita lagi nonton final indonesian idol 4, yang jaman nya Rini]. Mungkin karena waktu itu kita bentar lagi graduation, gw jadi ingat lagu ini. Lirik lagu itu bikin gw ikut bertanya, kira - kira kita dimana nanti ketika umur 25 ? masih bareng - bareng seperti ini nggak ya ? atau mungkin sudah nggak mungkin bareng - bareng lagi karena berada di jalur yang berbeda. Whatsoever, gw nikmati aja malam itu karena setelah kita melewati malam itu mungkin nggak akan terulang lagi.

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Tibalah the graduation day. We're officially graduated and no need to go to school anymore. Gw pindah rumah dan kuliah di jakarta, salah satu sahabat gw stay di Bandung, dan sisanya di Jakarta. Satu bulan, dua bulan, satu tahun. I feel like graduation was not the end of everything. Keep on thinking things will always be the same. Kita masih keep in touch dan bahkan beberapa kesempatan berkumpul. Nothing really change.

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Dua tahun, gw mulai mengerti makna dari lagu ini. Kita mulai jarang berkomunikasi. Bahkan mungkin tidak pernah. Tidak tahu kabar satu sama lain. Sibuk masing - masing. Sibuk dengan lingkungan baru. Ternyata memang tidak ada yang bisa melawan kekuatan ruang dan waktu.

Guys, if only you know. I miss you guys ...

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
