Forgive me when I say I love you. I know that pulling on the strings of your heart doesn't make things any better.

Forgive me when I say I need you. You are the air I breathe, the water running through my veins, the food that nourishes my soul. There is no other way that I can live.

Forgive me when I say I am thinking about you. Your eyes are what keep me up at night, your voice sings songs in my head and why should I ever stop playing back the record.

Forgive me for what I am. All alone I see the cage I have made, closing the door shut so that I can't hurt you again.

Forgive me for I am afraid. One day I will cease to exist carrying my briefcase full of regrets and lies. I am scared to be alone.

Forgive me for hoping. I don't deserve the care you cradle me with. I fight for you but they are only wishes that can only be granted if you so choose to accept them.

Forgive me because as time passes there is a possibility that you will leave me behind in the sands of time. Will I be a long lost particle never to be remembered? is it too late to say that I want you to be mine?

Forgive me for portraying my thoughts its not like they will ever matter...
