Moment By Moment

We were caught up in the moment A moment of challenge and battles, toes were stepped on, hearts were bruised, lines were crossed. What came out of my mouth may not have been true, but it was my truest understanding at the moment. Can you ever forgive me for leaving you alone in that room, like an unwanted stepchild. I regret that. The moment of challenge was clearly understood, but who you are became obscured by clouds of blindness. Clouds got in my eyes. That day when the earth fell out from under my feet, and my knees buckled for the first time. It was a pain that I never want you to endure. They say Hell is the moment when we experience the pain that we have put others through. I don't want you to know that pain. What good would it do? Would it make you love me more? No, it would only show you the depth of my pain. So you will have to believe it on faith, but know you are forgiven. Yes, I believe you meant no harm. The moment turned angry, that's all. Time passes, and the clouds are warmed, dissapated by light. Warm loving light. I know you meant no harm.

This is honesty at her best. "What came out of my mouth may not have been true, but it was my truest understanding at the moment. "
