'raising a Glass To You'
Here is to those who tiptoed out of my life
Without explaining what I did wrong
In order for me to do it better next time
Here is to those who thought they knew me
Who judged; without getting to know me
Here is to those who lied their way into my life
Assuming that my eyes would never see the truth
Here is to those I loved and lost
Who taught me unconditional love
In spite of the challenges it brings
Here is to those I treasure
That took the time to see the cracks
That looked beyond the mistakes, beyond the flaws
Who still said 'you are worth it'
In our lives we grow with people or we grow apart
It doesn't mean that you failed in a relationship
It means that you needed that person in that particular space
On this journey you meet people and you let go of people
Then you get those that give you reasons to want to hold on
Treasure the experiences
Remember the lessons
Never allow it to steal the memories you can create today
So I am lifting a glass to those I had to let go
And to those that gave me reasons to hold on
Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for dwelling in my space
