Could I forgive myself
If an accident were to happen?
Lines dividing right from wrong
Become blurry, overlapping.

On one hand is it really my place to make
The choice you're too weak to make on your own?
Can I break your heart with such ease
Then leave your pieces alone?

On the other hand I feel responsible
For your life, happiness, And well-being
Not adding positivity, we spiral down
It is for your sake I'm fleeing.

I am not running away out of fear
Never attempted a feat so brave
Saying goodbye is the most dreadful thing done yet
Hurt you because pain is what you need to be saved.
I know i have no right to tell you what is and isn't good for you but it seems this relationship isn't healthy for ME any longer as well as you. Even if you can't see it, I can.

J’ai trahi nos discussions tardives
Autour de deux verres, le délice
De te voir pourrait être un indice
D'une passion qui est compulsive

Ce soir-là tu parlais de ces choses
Tes lèvres, orchestres de mélodie
Laissaient en mon coeur une ecchymose
Je ne peux oublier cette nuit

Comblée par tous ces moments d’absences
Mes yeux témoignaient de ta splendeur  
Mais tu n’avais aucun auditeur  
Tout semblait réel dans ma présence

Je n’écoutais plus ta mélodie
J’observais tes traits incomparables
Ta silhouette; je m’y perdis
À l’Empereur, tu étais semblable

I'm sorry
That every time I try to help
I end up making it worse
Letting tears flow faster

I'm sorry
That every time you were in need
I couldn't be there for you
Letting the pain ache harder

I'm sorry
That every time I white-lied to you
I knew that I was a coward not to tell you the reality
Letting the trust in us break

I'm sorry
That once I came into your life
I made it harder for you
Even though I don't know how
I just made everything worse

I'm going now.
Forgive me

Forgiveness is freedom
To the forgiver especially!

I feel the green grass under my feet and I feel blessed.
Whether my skin is being kissed by the sun
or dancing with the waves of the sea,
I feel blessed.
When my feet are ***** with dust,
My lungs feel the clean air around, smelling the Nature,
And my hair is a complete mess,
I feel happy.
I love the little things life gives us.
I feel so grateful for those people who made me grow,
Even if it was hurtful in the past,
Because I am learning to forgive.
Forgive and let go.
Heal. Myself and others.
From the past and from the fears about the future.
Because miracles happen. No, not only in movies.
I've heard about them, I saw them, I felt them before.
Sometimes I have doubts and fears
And I let my Ego speak louder than my Soul.
But my Soul is patient, kind and she knows wounds need time to heal.
So she whispers nice things to me when I'm scared
or feeling lonely,
or feeling sad.
My Soul puts her arms around me in a giant hug of Love,
Compassion,
Forgiveness,
Peace.
She tells me to believe.
That I'm worth it.
That I have miracles happening in my life too,
"or did you forget?" she asks.
She shows me my past, when I thought I couldn't make it,
But it did,
When I though it was impossible,
But it wasn't,
When I thought I was alone,
But I had so many people right there, waiting, with their arms wide open,
And with lots of Love to give me.
Suddendly I feel myself smiling,
Sometimes crying at the same time,
While I feel more and more gratitude in my heart,
Because the messages I need to evolve, to break all the chains,
and knots, and blockages,
They always find a way to get to me.
So to all of you, right there, I love you
And I'm grateful you are part of my life
