 Why do I want to forgive you?

Because I can feel your pain.

I know that you are probably blaming yourself for what happened and it’s un-necessary.

I want to forgive you because you are not a bad person.

I want to forgive you because even though we love each other, we are not meant to be together.

I want to forgive you because I am done hating you. If I hate you, I only hate me and hate has been weighing heavy on my heart lately. 

I want to forgive you because I want you to find peace, freedom, happiness and joy- just as I have found it.

I want to forgive you because I know that you were only ever doing the best that you could.

I want to forgive you because I know that you are (still) only doing the best that you ever could.

I want to forgive you because I decided to leave force alone.

I want to forgive you because you are free to behave however you wish; my judgement and cynicism has come to an end as I move onto the next chapter of my life.

I want to forgive you because I have chosen to cut the chord between us. No more hate, no more fear. Only love.

Love for me and love for you, separately.
