The Way We Were.. Day by Day Mem'ries may be beautiful, and yet, what's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget. Some say this is the coward's way out, but it's not. Why remember that you didn't get to be Homecoming Royalty or Sweetheart Ball candidates; why not just remember that you knew they would get it and voted for them. After all, they couldn't have been there without you. And even though it rained on the big night or your date came a half-hour late; these times were the highlights of the year, the moments of suspense, and the hours of joy. Always, they shall be an unforgettable part of The Way We Were.
