I forgive you

Friend comforting a tearful woman on an autumn park bench

I forgive you for ignoring me,
For looking through me like I wasn’t there.
I forgive you for the chance you never gave,
For leaving me with nothing to repair.

Maybe I wanted too much,
Maybe I dreamed a little too far.
Maybe some doors are meant to stay closed,
No matter how close they are.

There was a time I wondered why,
There was a time I couldn’t let it go.
But looking back from where I stand,
I’m glad I never got to know.

I forgive you
For turning me away.
For never giving me a chance,
For choosing not to stay.

I forgive you,
And maybe it’s for the best.
Nothing ever happened between us,
And maybe that’s what saved me in the end.

I forgive you for the silence,
For every word you never said.
For leaving all those possibilities
Running circles in my head.

I used to wonder what could happen,
If you had opened up the door.
But now I see the road behind me
And I don’t wonder anymore.

There was no story left unfinished,
No love that had to disappear.
Just two people passing by each other,
And I’m finally okay with that.

I forgive you
For turning me away.
For never giving me a chance,
For choosing not to stay.

I forgive you,
And maybe it’s for the best.
Nothing ever happened between us,
And maybe that’s what saved me in the end.

Maybe nothing was lost,
Maybe nothing was meant to be.
Maybe the best thing that happened
Was that you never chose me.

No broken promises,
No memories to regret.
No ending we had to survive,
No beginning to forget.

I forgive you
For turning me away.
For never giving me a chance,
For choosing not to stay.

I forgive you,
And maybe it’s for the best.
Nothing ever happened between us,
And maybe that’s what saved me in the end.
