In this life of mine I’ve known
Love as the most fleeting feeling
Blushing, giggling
Held in ways I dreamt
But never kept for long.
I have tasted bitter revenge
Sworn my heart to ice
Felt hate burn through my veins
Feeding wounds that would not heal.
But in quiet hours when anger fades
I find forgiveness waiting
Soft as dawn, patient as time.
Because even in pain and ruin
Love was first
And love was everything.
So I choose to forgive
For love was there before the hurt
And it must remain after.

In this life of mine I’ve known
Love as the most fleeting feeling
Blushing, giggling
Held in ways I dreamt
But never kept for long.
I have tasted bitter revenge
Sworn my heart to ice
Felt hate burn through my veins
Feeding wounds that would not heal.
But in quiet hours when anger fades
I find forgiveness waiting
Soft as dawn, patient as time.
Because even in pain and ruin
Love was first
And love was everything.
So I choose to forgive
For love was there before the hurt
And it must remain after.
A journey through the hardest feelings, finding peace in the end. Because love was there first and it deserves to stay.
