To Be Forgiven

I forgive you.

I forgive me. 

I forgive who we’ve become, 

who we’ve grown to be.

I forgive those long lost nights of hoping that you’ll come by.

I forgive them all,

every single lie. 

I forgive your lips for promising freedom.

I forgive my hands for letting you lead them.

I forgive your eyes for lighting my soul like the sun.

I forgive my heart for what its done. 

I forgive your car for taking me there. 

I forgive my tongue for telling you where.

I forgive the vines that pulled you away.

I forgive my words which caused you to stray. 

I forgive those songs that filled my head.

I forgive your voice. I forgive your bed.

But most of all I want you to know that I forgive you, each and every day, 

For loving someone like me, 

And then pushing her away.
