Cheers

Here's to life's forbidden fruit

and the passes we never make,

to the relationships lost before being gained

and the kisses we forget to taste

 

Here's to a glass not quite half empty

but a little less than half full,

to the voice that steals our confidence away

and the strings the puppeteers pull

 

Here's to the fun that will never be had

for the sake of being safe,

to a life meant to be lived to the fullest

that turns out to be a waste

 

And lastly, here's to all the tomorrows

that will never come to pass,

and to every promise of a forever

that never seems to last.
