Still Pure and True, Forever

Still pure and true, forever
By Michelle Morris

He says, "I forgive you"
To the sleeping girl
The one who hurt him
The one who broke his heart 

They had a pure love
A true love -
A love that inspires
Great love stories 

Over and over again 
And this love continues on
Unabated and unadorned
Still pure and true, forever

And he will always forgive her
And he will always love her
Even if she can't love him back
The same way

He says, "I forgive you"
To the sleeping girl
The one who hurt him
The one who broke his heart 

They still have love
They still have friendship
Because the best loves 
Exist outside of space and time 

For love is eternal and special
It is powerful and mighty
It is gentle and compassionate
It is kind and delightful

Over and over again 
This love continues on
Unabated and unadorned
Still pure and true, forever
