forgive yourself, without forgetting

forgive yourself for the vacancy you’ve created,

without forgetting the feeling of fullness.

forgive yourself for letting someone close to you,

without forgetting the ability to be vulnerable.

forgive yourself for the frustration of not knowing what you want,

without forgetting what you already have.

forgive yourself for changing your mind,

without forgetting what you once believed in.

forgive yourself for being selfish,

without forgetting how to give to others.

forgive yourself for not loving,

without forgetting how to love.
