As I walk along the long road, the road we have known all to well,
you have turned to me and asked, Why do You love Me?
I was taken aback, astonished to hear this question echoing in my thoughts.
In the windows of the shops I see the flashes of our life, glimpses of the past from my memory.
Finally I can reply to you about why I Love You, and the answer is simple;
I Love You for your Forgiveness.
Through the Times that I saw no hope;
Through the Times I’ve pushed you away and wished you were someone else;
Through the Times that My anger at the world was thrust upon you;
Through the times when I had no idea how I was going to survive;
Through the times that I’ve Hated how You Look and did everything I could to change you;
You Have Forgiven Me.
You Never wavered in Having Hope;
You always knew that you were who you need to be;
You always knew that when I was tearing you Down that it was from My Perception of Society;
The Rage and Sadness that Scarred You was not your fault, but Rather just me trying to Feel Alive.
Even Now I still want to Change You sometimes, but I know that I would Lose a Part of me if I did.
As I walked I realized I am alone at home, in the bathroom.
I turned to the Mirror, facing Myself; knowing that everything I saw was Simply in my Mind’s Eye.
Forgiving ourselves/giving ourselves grace, I believe, is critical to living a happy life. We are human after all! Your mentality is strong and inspiring. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren
