Forgive you

As I predicted, it's been more than one year. You didn't pick up the phone or send an email. In your stubbornness and mine, we walked away from each other. Rarely have I paused to think of you. It was easy to not think of you as you haven't been involved much in my life. You had the title given to you, but earned very little of it.

I recently saw a current picture of you. You looked tired. You looked old. You didn't look happy. You don't look anything like the hero that I thought you were. You looked nothing like I remembered or the image that I long to hold close to.

All I ever wanted was to be close to you.  I wanted to be included. I wanted you to care. I just never found a way to help you understand it.

I forgive you for the hurt you have caused. I forgive you for the broken heart. I forgive you for not protecting me and not being there for me.

 There is no going back, cause there was nothing there to begin with. Going forward, I wish you the best and hope you experience so much love. I wish you peace and rest for the weary lines on your face. I hope you find joy and happiness.
