#40 Let's Make A Deal

People don't always feel the same way about us, as we feel about them. It's not a crime, only human nature. We all know this of course, but we also know the hurt that comes when the feelings aren't shared ones. I do believe that forgiveness does help bring peace.

Let's Make A Deal

by Diane Blue

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them.

Forgiveness brings inner peace.
Do we have a deal?

This poem at this time in my life said what I needed and wanted to say but could not seem to find the words until now, but now let them be your words I say. Thank you

I just love the poem.

This poem was beatiful. I am sorry to admit that I was the one that needed to be forgived. The one that hurt him so many times. The one that ignored his love and his kindness. But he never gave up on me. After 15 years 2 marriages (his & mine) 2 children and a lifetime of lost memorie's he has learned to forgive me and I have learned to open up to his love. Being loved unconditionally is the most beatiful love of all. I thank-you for finding the words that describe how I felt all these years. I'm sory for hurting you my love. please forgive me?

As soon as I read this poem, I started crying because I can relate to every thing in this poem. I break down into tears and fall apart every single day of my life because the love of my life doesn't even care about me.
