.Memories.

Here's to those times I rented my heart to you

and to the endless nights breathing the same air.

Here's to that one moment when I felt secure

and how you made it disappear in a blink of an eye.

Here's to the date you first said I love you

and to that evening when you ripped my heart out.

Here's to the dreams we built in the sky

and how you made them crumble .

Here's to the sleepless nights hearing your voice over the phone

and how I went deaf after you said goodbye.

That's my toast to our love

raise your glass, it's time to depart.

Poisoned memories shall be buried after this

no more wondering what could have been

if you stayed when I was still me.

I thank you for the tears

and for the blood spilled

For the promises you made...

For the lies...

Goodbye.
