For the sleepless nights,
For days spent in bed.
I forgive you for leaving me behind
leaving my heart
in the sand
swallowed up by time

I forgive you
for lying
cheating
playing with my heart
I still cant seem to understand
how you could be so coarse.

I forgive you
for you don't know what you do
but then again
on a certain level
i know that you do.

I forgive you
not for your sake, but mine.
I can't be hung up
on someone who would
time after time
leave me hanging
for reasons
i dont know why.

I choose to forgive you
im leaving hate behind
resentment, jealousy
I choose not to define.
My love, my sunshine
one i hold dear
I feel like a deer caught in headlights
cant leap clear

I forgive you,
though you don't think you deserve it.
I forgive you because it would be worthless
to live in regret
to be upset
Live, grow, and shine
and become the beautiful loving woman
I fell in love with
