Cheers

by Sarah Boom

This is for everything you tore apart
And every time you broke my heart
For every girl you've ever seen
And for every hand you held
That didn't belong to me...

For every lie you ever told
And every time I believed
For all the times you said you'd go
But instead you'd never leave

For every rumor that you've spread
Since I left you alone
And for every girl you'd been brave enough
To bring into our home

For every scar on my body
That was ever caused by you
For the memory of every bruise
Faded, black, and blue.

For every time you watched me cry
And you just sat and stared
For every time you promised your love to me
And yet it was never there

Here's to every emotional scar I now have
And all the years I wasted on you
Here are the photos of me in my wedding dress
I hope you burn these too
Heres to the memory of you as my friend
Whatever happened to you

Here's to the times we sat around and laughed
And even to the times we cried
Here's to the nights I told you the truth
Here's to the nights you lied
Here's to the days you carried my books
Here's to the nights we got funny looks
For all the loving we were showing each other
And here's to your life, with someone other...
Someone other than me, now I hope you can see
That this toast is the end of everything.

There will be no more laughter
There will be no more tears
There will be no small children
Down the road in five years
There will be no long journey
Down the aisle of wedded bliss
There will be no I love yous
And no Goodnight kiss...

There will be no true love stories
For our childrens children as planned
For There will be nothing left by then
Of this relationship we once had

There will be no long tales
Of our days in study hall
And no photos of memories
In our home on the wall

There will never be the things
You wished for there to be
Because there is no more you
Loving me...

And Here's to your new girlfriend
Whose wearing my clothes
And Here's to my heart
Because only she knows...
Why I don't love you anymore.
I think I finally know for sure....

So Here's to the nights
We fell deep in love
And heres to the years
We struggled to keep up
And Here's to the day
We finally said goodbye
And here's the toast
That ended it all...
Cheers, to no more wondering why
