Play on..

Celebrating tragedies with people who caused it,
With people who we ruined,
With people who are still sitting across the table, sharing a smile & ready to lend a shoulder... at the end of it all.

All the pain forgotten.
All the pain forgiven.
@ a few laughs.

Compromises, made willingly.
Promises, made knowing they can't be fulfilled - forgiven.

Wishes, that we wished as we drifted into fantasy.
Beautiful memories we stole from a cruel reality.
And memories of a future that may never happen.
Of a future that beat us to it.

But, the game of life is still on.
So we carry on, and give it our best shot.
