Your loneliness was palpable Bitter regret on my tongue From all the lessons learned but forgotten All the forever’s that never happened I know I was not the salve you wanted A poor substitute for the lost soul of your dreams Instead of releasing you, I made it about me And it was never about me Yet to forgive myself has been the hardest lesson of all The beauty in forgiveness is my hope for the future So I am sorry
I release you
I release myself

❤ Painfully elegant.
Oh, have I done that. To someone else and as much to myself.
Funny that to truly forgive the other I kinda hadta figure out I was as much in the wrong, and needed to forgive myself for that.
