Cheers

I wrote this about my first boyfriend from high school and how we became friends later (even though we don't really talk much these days).

If we could go back there when you 

Said that I was pretty and you 

Held my photo so close like it was a dream that came true 
Would you make it something different?

Do you think it could have been better?

Or is it like predicting the weather?

Something you just don't know how to do 

I'm not chastising, that's not my way 

I want a chance of uniting, I wanted to say 

After all I still love you, after all I still need you here 

So I raise my glass to you and I say, 

"Cheers".

Do you really think our time was 

Nothing but a pure wasted cause?

I remember fighting and laughing 

But I don't know what for 

I think there's something beautiful in growing 

There's something more to high school than just learning 

I love the fact that I was always turning 

Into something you'd later adore 

I'm not chastising, that's not my way 

I want a chance of uniting, I wanted to say 

After all I still love you, after all I still need you here 

So I raise my glass to you and I say, 

"Cheers".

I won't use excuses 

For once I'll use fact

Adolescence is hard and I didn't want to deal with that

Whether or not there was something wrong inside my head 

I still did it 

There I said it 

Don't you forget it 

I'm not chastising, that's not my way 

I want a chance of uniting, I wanted to say 

After all I still love you, after all I still need you here 

So I raise my glass to you and I say, 

"Cheers".

This was written in the style of a song. I can picture it accompanied by a guitar... oh if only I were a musician...

the past brings with it a sense of understanding...and yet a satisfying way to look at those moments as a sentimental part of our life...and this captures that moment...
