A Toast to the Past

Folder: 
Thoughts

I propose a toast:

Here's to the past,

Here's to all the things that didn't last.

Here's to heartbreak,

Here's to tears,

Here's to getting through our fears.

Here's to the joy,

Here's to the pain,

Here's to somehow staying sane.

Here's to those

That came and went,

Here's to all the time well spent.

Here's to all we lost,

And all we earned.

Here's to all the lessons learned.

Here's to the old

That brought us to the new,

Here's to me and here's to you.

Here's to the hard times,

We didn't think we'd survive,

And here's to us because we're still alive.

Here's to growing up,

Here's to moving on,

Here's to the future, for the past is gone.
