here's to

here's to the future

here's to endings
and beginnings

to people we love
and have loved
and have yet to love

here's to learning new things
and learning old things

to dreams
and reality

here's to not knowing
what lies beyond the next corner
or beyond the next minute

here's to loves
and friends

here's to long walks in the sunshine
and to evenings in the rain

here's to essays
and exams
and failed classes

to bits of paper with stuff written on
and to stuff written on any bit of paper

here's to letters
and cards
and getting mail

here's to beginnings
and endings

here's to the future
