To all the men I loved before

The title of this post is not my own. Its an old song by Julio Iglesias, the father of the present day Enrique Iglesias. Well, this post is dedicated to all the men I loved before. How thoughtful of the singer to hold no grudges and dedicate a song to certain aspects of the past that we wish to bury and forget. Today as I stand on the threshold of a new year and while bidding adieu to the passing twenties, I would like to be grateful for all of them that were once part of my life. Maybe it did not work out well, maybe things were bitter, maybe . . . I can list many maybes but then they all helped me in different ways. I learnt many things. Small or meaningful, they sure contributed their part and today as I think back, I would say that 'glad that you came by and at a point made my life beautiful.'

For those who do not know the song, here it is:

To all the girls I loved before - Julio Iglesias

To all the girls I've loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before


To all the girls I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I've loved before


The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away


To all the girls who shared my life
Who now are someone else's wives
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before


To all the girls who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the girls I've loved before

The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away

To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before

To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before
