Can I forgive?
Can I forgive you for destroying my world
turning it upside down
to only turn away.
Can I forgive your sweet words or soft touch?
Knowing to me that you meant so much
Can I forgive you for the sleepless nights
or tearful days?
When I recounted every interaction and
email in twenty different ways.
Can I forgive you for touching my heart
Even though we are apart
Can I forgive you for being my perfect
match that will never be?
Because at the end of the day
you left me.
