Forgive me

I don't believe forgiveness can be given. Time is the healer. Written in 1978.

Forgive me

Please forgive me for what I did to you.

I'm sorry I torture you with lies and treated
you as I did.

I was young.
Learning to love.

Finding the many mistakes young lover's can make.

I left you alone and swimming in tears and loneliness.

I hope all your thoughts of me are not filled with hate.

But filled with fond memories of two lovers learning
to touch and  to love.

Even through our ending ended in anger and sadness.
We allowed the world to separate us.

You are still a beautiful face and tender memories I can't forget.

I hope I didn't destroy your desire to love and feel.

I hope your new beginning are filled with happiness and joy.

I hope you didn't throw away all the love we held and gathers.

You came and said goodbye to me.
I was leaving Germany.
We held each other for the last time.

I whispered.
Thank you sweet lady for sharing love with a foolish man.

Author's Note

A old poem. Young people must learn to understand to be kind and gentle in the emotion of love.

"Even THOUGH our ending ended..." Not through. A few other grammatical mistakes but other than that I LOVED it! Sometimes all we have are memories. Even when the person we love or care about is long gone or no longer who they were, we can still look back at the memories and smile with a few bitter sweet tears. J'adore!

[GunMetal]

A beautiful poem filled with regret and honesty. The truest kind of writing.

"thank you sweet lady for sharing love with a foolish man"
ah I think we've all been in a relationship where one has been foolish, and the other has still given love. That is what I love most about this - it is easy to relate to. This is really touching. Thank you for sharing :)

"I was young,
Learning to love"

I really love this poem, that line being, for me at least, the standout. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

very sad end. You look really good together, i hope it goes well for the both of you. young people do foolish things, that's how we learn, we learned from our mistakes. we take risk, the adrenaline rush in our head makes it more exiting even though its a foolish mistake. in the end we realized it and say sorry for what we done and that's what makes us human. a well thought poem my friend.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

How some decisions we make just stay with us. Love is a powerful emotion as well as regret and guilt. Sometimes we are forgiven even if we don't think we should be. The one we want forgiveness from has their own perspective on things. A poem well worth reading.
