I forgive you for not being
Who I wanted you to be
It’s okay that you didn’t meet my expectations
Some bars I set too high
But most were easy to reach
I never gave you any patience
But hindsight is 20/20 and now I see
I forgive you for not being
Who I expected you to be
It’s okay that you let me down
Even if all the weight was on my shoulders
And you stood by as I drowned
I crawled on broken glass over huge boulders
And you never helped me out
I forgive you for not being
Who I hoped you would be
It’s okay that you failed a time or two
I never thought about what you’d been through
Even if I endured the same things as you
I couldn’t justify what you choose to do
I guess everything is relevant to a point of view
I forgive you for bringing out
The worst versions of myself
It’s okay that you gave up
Even at the expense of all our dreams
It seems we needed a break to refill our cup
Time and space to recollect our thoughts
And pull ourselves together
Its okay that you left things half finished
Or didn’t try you best at everything
Its okay that you didn’t try at something’s at all
I know you’re scared to fail
If I didn’t hold all your mistakes against you
I know you wouldn’t hide behind a veil
I understand now it was me
Who is to blame for it all
And the events that progressed were my fault
Even though a relationship takes two
The only person who can take the heat is me
Because I am here
And you’re just the man in the mirror
I forgive you for not being
Who I wanted you to be
I forgot that you’re human too
I whispered to you
Through a teary eyed smile
I walked away from who I used to be
