I forgave

I forgave the Sun
For burning me to ashes.
Because you loved the warmth
Of mellow sunshine.
I forgave the Sea
For drowning me in melancholy.
Because you said the crashing waves
Brought peace to your heart.
I forgave the Wind
That screamed in my ears
Because you heard it whisper
Soft songs that made you smile.
I forgave the harsh Winter
For the cold air numbed my senses
But you saw pristine beauty
As the snow crashed from Heavens

And then I forgave the World
That broke me down to my knee.
Because out of countless souls
It led you to me.
It led you to me.
And I forgive you
For keeping the love I gave
And letting me drown
In lovelessness.

    “I forgave” – I personally loved the 1st paragraph more. The way you expressed it , really touchy. Could feel that pain which gives pleasure.
