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!

Beautiful poem, we all get hurt from love but we forget that its better to have loved than never to have loved before. Words cannot express the grief one feels when one loses love. This poem makes me reflect on my own love and passion with someone who hurt me in the end but i wouldn't change the time we were together for no one, he showed me what love was, because of this forgiving was easy and like the saying goes....."Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop" xxx thanks for sharing x

So insighful and inspiring really. very nicely expressed

[emmajoy]

Looking back is so painful coz nothing can be done to remedy mistakes, whether done to us or by us .. love is the most beautiful but also the most painful.

Wonderfully heart-filled write, John - as always by you

we may not always be able to undo mistakes we make with others but we can still learn from them so as to not make them again. Life is a continual learning process.

[Tate Morgan]

A tender poem of the follies youth engenders.It is how we learn

[Ruth]

Oh wow, yes, this is felt! Deeply!
The process of learning love is a task like any other emotion or part of life, we have to learn to move on and accept we can change or see things differently, potent hon! xoxo
