Because Of My Love For You

Because of my love for you,

I forgive you

for the things you said

and will say;

for the things you did

and will do;

for the pain you have caused

and will cause.

I forgive you

not because you are my best friend

or because of the memories we share

or because I think I need you in my life.

I forgive you

because you are human

and humans make mistakes, and

all because of my love for you,

I can overlook

the hurtful words

the vindictive actions

the painful mistakes,

all because of my love for you

I can overlook the facts

that you stole from me

that you lied to me

that you hid from me

that you intentionally hurt me,

all because of my love for you.
