Forever

Dear beloved Gabriela,

            Forgive me for my sins, for my adultery.

            I never meant to pain you, for it was compulsory

Forgive me for my betrayal.

I never intended to for this to be my portrayal.

What I have done is unforgivable.

Letting my desires control me was cynical.

What should I do? What am I to say to you?

For am I destine to fall to my knees

Plead and beg for the mercy of your love?

Tell what can I do

Tell me there is a way to redeem the unredeemable

I have sinned

I have let you down

But I love you

You may say that the actions taken

Don’t portray the words I preach

But understand that since the moment I met you

There has never been another in my heart

For I can still the remember the days of our young love

When we sat at the theatre loving,

But I know we will never return to those days

To the days when we both promised and cared

When we used to say Forever.
