Stop holding seats in your life for people who won’t show up,
For those who bring you sorrow, instead of filling your cup.
Don’t let their absence linger, like a shadow in the night,
Release the empty spaces, let your world be filled with light.
Each seat you’re holding onto, is a space that’s meant for joy,
Not for those who bring you heartache, or treat your love as a mere toy.
Let the ones who truly matter, occupy the chairs you keep,
For they’ll bring warmth and laughter, and in your heart, run deep.
So cast away the ghosts of promises, that were never meant to be,
And welcome in the ones who lift you, and help you feel truly free.
Your life’s too precious to be wasted, on those who choose to stay away,
Embrace the ones who cherish you, and let the others fade to gray.
Stop holding seats in your life for people who won’t show up,
Choose to fill them with the ones who care, who overflow your cup.
For in the end, it’s not the quantity, but the quality that we find,
So let go of those who bring you down, and keep the truest and most kind.
