A Toast to Friendship
A toast to the friendships that have lasted
And a toast to the ones that haven’t
We all have met friendship in its many shapes and forms
Sometimes it comes around in the lightest of days and stays for the darkest of nights
Sometimes it leaves when the seasons change
And I just want to say thank you to friendship
For Building me up
And making me who I am
For sometimes leaving and sometimes staying
For being there when others weren't
A Toast to Friendship
For making sure I am always growing and moving on
For showing me that even when it seems like the world is ending
That the sky will never show light again
And the seasons will never move past winter
That all it really is is just a thunderstorm on the warmest of summer days
Waiting for a new beam of sunlight
A Toast to Friendship
For fooling me with all their lies and tricks
For framing me for something I never did
And making it harder and harder for me to move on
For filling themselves within my photo albums and memories
To continue to be found for years after
A Toast to Friendship
For showing me a world outside of the small town I call home
And opening my eyes to different possibilities.
For encouraging me to follow my dreams
Letting me know that the sky is not the limit
But the stars, space, and galaxy beyond
A Toast to Friendship
For celebrating what makes us different
Instead of disapproving the divergent
Because trying to blend in has always been one of my specialties
A Toast to Friendship
For making an awkward conversation
Turn into a comfortable one
Just with their presence
And for believing in me
Then taking that belief away
So that I had no choice but to start believing in myself
A Toast to Friendship
Because when they left
They were back later in a different form
Ready with new twists and tricks
