LOOKING BACK...

In all of you, I look and see
A little part of me in you
And parts of you in me.

And pangs of remorse gripped me
The tears I caused you all
And the tears that you caused me.

Over who had the stronger will.

Erasing time?...Impossible
Yet one more thing I see
The love and yes, forgiveness
Part on me in you
And part of you in me.

Need and want clouded my mind
Impatience ruled my days

I rejected love

So oft' times
Forgiveness is too cumbersome
Too give unto someone
When I cannot forget
When my obsession
Is that of hate
