Be Always Forgiving
Be always forgiving as I couldn't be;
keep alive the memories and dreams
that gave meaning to tender words,
to beautiful places never lost to time!
I was the cheater so untrustworthy
and unkind;
a predator whose eyes got what
he wanted,
giving you a little or none!
I had all the fun,
hiding myself in places you couldn't find;
a liar with many alibis,
who could be extremely cautious and wise,
feeling nor guilt or dishonesty!
Be always forgiving as I couldn't be...
I was destined to find that shining light,
follow it till it showed me its might;
and all the pain and the struggles
are the cause of my denial that even you today
I find hard to forget through my wasted tears...
Be always forgiving as I couldn't be;
I was the selfish one, blind and careless,
sharing with many what couldn't be shared!
I should have honored your purity,
taken care of your needs and stayed;
there's no regret more painful than this...
