Let this be a mother fucking lesson

Let this be a mother fucking lesson

A lesson to what we put up with and what we throw away.

Who we allow back into our fragile hearts and who we lock out forever.

Fool us once shame on you

Fool us twice shame on us

Let this be a lesson to never make someone your priority when you remain their option.

A toast to the perverts, the sick ones, the troubled ones, the lying shady ones.

The ones who are looking for an easy fix, the ones who want to treat a woman like an object rather than a prize.

A toast as they pave their way to loneliness.

For you will never be committed to woman with this behaviour, and if you are then she isn't a woman.

She's just as lost as you.

A toast to being lost and sick together.

And I hope they learn a lesson too.

To never underestimate a women's self respect.

To never underestimate the power of love.

Love for herself, and the love she hopes for.

Real love.

Love without bounds.

Consuming, can't live without each other love, as Carrie would say.

That's what we are looking for.

Someone to say you are the only one for me.

Someone to say you make me want to be a better man.

And if it's anything less then that, you can bet everything you have she'll be gone.

It's the most important trifecta you'll ever bet on, and if you don't have all three, or you are an underdog in the race, you better have something that no one else has.

Love, honesty, respect paves the way to commitment, to health and happiness.

This is what fuels us, what keeps us going. 

This is what brings the best of two people out.

Let's the light in when there was only darkness a short time ago.

We believe in this with everything we have, no matter the heartache we feel in the present.

In a short time this feeling of anxiety, of anger, of sadness will soon be in the past.

She'll forgive him, but she'll forget him too.

So here's a toast to the past, the present, and most of all the future.
