Forgive Me for the Life That Broke Us

You saw the world the way I knew, 
Yet felt its heartbeat differently. 
I gave my soul, my whole self too — 
And now the tears fall silently. 

Forgive this life for breaking you, 
Forgive the fate that bound and tried us. 
Forgive the storms we stumbled through, 
The pain that rose and stood beside us. 

I live. I give. One day I’ll sleep, 
But in your dreams I’ll still be near you. 
I love you — walk your path and keep 
A heart that’s kind, and open, clear too. 

I love you — walk your path and keep 
Your calm, your gentleness, your center. 
I know you’ll find a guiding beam 
Of love and peace that you can enter. 

I still recall the days we laughed, 
When life felt wide and full of wonder. 
And nights where passion burned so fast 
It lit our world, then tore it under. 

There once was light — like newborn snow, 
And there was darkness, deep and hollow. 
But I keep warm the years that glowed, 
The younger selves we used to follow. 

I’ll try to hold in memory 
The things that soothed, the things that sheltered me. 
Let pain step back and set me free — 
I’m tired of storms that steal my energy. 

I love you — walk your path and keep 
Your calm, your gentleness, your center. 
I know you’ll find a guiding beam 
Of love and peace that you can enter. 

Forgive me for each stubborn hour, 
For blindness, pride, and sudden sharpness. 
For words that carried hidden power, 
For wounds I caused without the hardness. 

And I forgive you just the same — 
The colder days, the careless seasons. 
The moments when you lost your flame, 
Forgot your tenderness and reasons. 

We both fell down more times than told, 
We walked the only way we knew to. 
And life bent both of us in fold, 
And all the years just somehow flew through. 

So now — go on your quiet road. 
May it be gentle, bright, forgiving. 
May peace become your true abode, 
And make your days worth truly living.
