Return To Sender

Return to me like nothing is wrong 
Like time had no affect on me 
while you were gone so long
you thought it would just be that easy 

just to let you know 
thats not how it works 
our love can't grow
when hate stays and lurks

but the hate is your own doing
with no one to blame but yourself
so there is no way i am going
to help you drag your sins off the shelf

you will do it on your own
just like i had to do it on mine
imagine how this love could have grown
but you can just leave and know that the fault was not mine.

A very honest expression of your feelings, Tyler. Wish we all had the ability to make our feelings so clear. I think she'll get the message, though sometimes it is in everyone's best interest to forgive. Best Wishes, Carolyn
