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!

The words are sincere. not much rhyming but aside the few grammatical errors, I loved it. the emotion of love is difficult to understand and express by many but those that do understand, truly cherish it. good write!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Amy. I appreciate the positive comment. I learn love is give and take. Greedy in love leave one person lonely and sad.

Always welcome

[Blake Fodor]

Your emotions are wonderfully penned and freely they shine... I really am touched by these words

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Blake. A very old poem. My old journals feel like someone else today.

This is sad...
However...a true sorry always helps...
It's never too late to forgive.
I hope she is reading this somewhere though...

[Becky C Strukamp]

Sometimes relationships can not always end well. But I believe we learn as we go and I know you know that as it shows in all your poetry. Your lessons in life have become our information highway into seeking love and loving others for who they are and never setting out to hurt anyone. Thanks for another wonderful poem.

I am sure she did forgive, and I hope this poem brought some closure.

Honest and powerful words as I have grown to expect when I see your name on a poem my friend. :)

[Maya Storm]

You are able to write this way because you have learnt, in which case you need to forgive you too.

That photo shows two people who are mad about each other and if you have come to these realisations I am sure she has too.

Nice nice ^^
Young couples are indeed foolish

[CHRIS ANDES]

just a thought i guess its better to hear "I left you alone swimming in tears and loneliness"
than "I left you alone and swimming in tears and loneliness"
you look good in the picture with her and really adds to the emotion of the piece

This may be old, but its message is just as applicable today. I think this is one of the best love poems i"ve ever read - its real in all its happiness and pain, and lessons learned from mistakes. Thanks for sharing this :)
