I Just Want You To Know… (Wings Of Forgiveness) Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Something’s I’ve felt were not entirely correct
In the heat of the moment a person can feel regret
I won’t apologize for what I went through
I do feel silly at what I thought about you
Reading back on the past I laugh to myself
So dramatic and in despair I couldn’t see clearly
Now I can and it is beautiful
Flying high above the clouds
I let my soul go
Anguish and pain and hate and resentment
Is lost in the wind
I'm flying high on the Wings of Forgiveness
I just want you to know
I’m sorry for the pain that you’ve gone through
I just want you to know
I wasn’t oblivious or mad at you (it was only 1 day)
I was so blind with me that I could not see
But now I can
I needed to forgive myself to forgive you
I’m hoping you can do that too
There is nothing you need to cry about right now
Dry your eyes
Try to smile
You will soon be out
Of that rut that has your head hung so low and down
Trust in me when I say true love can be found
No I never knew
But I think I will
And I feel for you
And I have sealed a deal
There is nothing that can keep me down for too long
The same goes for you if you’d sing a new song
So, I just want you to know
Tears of happiness can be shed
I didn’t mean half of the things you’ve read
Hopefully the sun will shine down on you soon
You deserve the best in life
And you know it’s true
I’ve been petty and self-centered I realize
I apologize for being so into that
But now my heart is open once more
I’m not scared to bleed
I just want you to know
I’ve forgiven me
I just want you to know
You have a friend in me.
