We have a relationship so complicated that we will only forgive each other after we’ve forgiven ourselves
But if you’re feeling the way I do then I know that won’t happen in the near future
Not because we don’t want to but because we don’t know how
How do you forgive yourself for something you still can’t understand?
How can you forgive yourself for something you still haven’t fully accepted?
How do you forgive yourself for forging a love so strong that it started to cave in on itself?
Our love was too much
Our love was like the eye of the storm
We sat in it feet crossed, palm to palm, heads touching
While all around us there was chaos, madness, strife
I think that’s why it still hurt
It didn’t hurt because we genuinely wanted to leave each other
It hurt because we knew we had to
We were betrayed by the very thing that held us together
We knew that if we didn’t separate, we would’ve broken everything around us
Call us heroes
Call us angels
Call us selfless
Call us crazy
Because we did something horrific to people that we loved without understanding why just to ease the pain
