Heres to all the times we got it wrong, loving those who never cared, wanting those who are unavailable, trying to catch those who run away.

Heres to all the words we left unsaid,and the lies we told instead.Heres to all the texts we left unansweredbecause our pride was more important.

Heres to all the times we held onwhen we shouldve let go.Heres to all the times we believedthat we could change hearts.

Heres to all the times we fought so hardfor a losing battleand the times we broke our own heartsgoing after the ones who dont want us.

Heres to the days we spent waitingfor a text or a call that never came.Heres to the nights we spent cryingover people who never shed a tear over us.

Heres to all the times we got it wrong,loving those who never cared,wanting those who are unavailable,trying to catch those who run away.

Heres to all the times we forgot our own worthand forgot what kind of love were looking for.Heres to all the times we gave up on loveand settled for almosts and maybes.

Heres to all the lessons we learnedand the mistakes we made.They taught us how to love ourselvesand walk away from those who cant.

They taught us that the wrong thingscould lead us to the right things.That maybe we got it wrong beforebut were going to get itrightsomeday.
