I Have To Live With That

When she shut me out of her life
didn't she know that I couldn't
live without her, and I would
have done anything that she ask
of me to come back to her.
Anything except watch her
dating other men, and telling
me how else was she to find
herself a new husband.
I won't lie to you, I would
have died for her if she
honestly wanted me back,
but that would have required
lots of forgiveness on her side,
forgiveness for the hurt and
the anger I brought to her,
and in the grip of that pain
and anger, she chose to hurt me,
not forgive me, that was not
what I had hoped for from her,
but I can't make her choices.
I do know that if I hadn't
hurt her, she wouldn't have been
so mad, and hated me so much
that she only wanted to push
me away, and I have to live
with that, until my dying day.

I cared for her
a long time ago.

Funny how sometimes it's the "afterwards" that hurt more.

This was a great write James and I am sorry I missed it until now.

some lessons in life, are painful. Not everyone is going to forgive us, no matter how sorry we are.
