• I can't forgive you, any of you,
    for what you did to me.
    I can't return to the person I was,
    the one I used to be.

    No, not yet.

    I can't experience the love you gave,
    the one I so coldly rejected.
    I can't see the one in the water,
    in which my image is reflected.

    No, not yet.

    I can't love you the way you want me to,
    so just give up already.
    I can't be your pillar of strength
    that keeps you upright and steady.

    No, not yet.

    First, I must forgive myself
    for the sins I have committed.
    And then I must look into my heart,
    to see the love in which it has permitted.
