Forgive Yourself

Dear me,
Look, I have a lot to say to you.

Have you ever heard the quote that sounds like
"We all bad in someone's story"
From what I know is, that's kinda true.
But what I don't know is, how to explain it.

Maybe she's wrong and maybe he's right.
Maybe she's right and maybe he's wrong
Or maybe both are wrong,
And maybe both are right.
Forgive me for what I spitted cause I don't know a thing.

Okay, now let's talk about forgiveness.
People told me it's easy to forgive but it's hard to forget.
What say you though?
Well, some say yes and some say no.
But I say yes, why and how?

Why? It's because of love.
I do it all for love because when love exists, it's easier.
How? I'm not sure but when there is love, there is no how.
I think it's just happened.

So I wanna learn how to love just to forgive myself.
I want to forgive myself for being too hard.
I want to forgive myself for being too sensitive.
I want to forgive myself for hating so much.
I want to forgive myself for loving too much.
I want to forgive myself for not putting myself first.
I want to forgive myself for not wanting to be on top of everything.
And I want to forgive myself for not learning how to love myself first.

I have to say that it's not easy,
But with the help of love,
Surely the burden will lift up little by little, isn't it?
So I love to forgive and forgive to forget.
But the question is can I or can't I?
