i forgive you

23

As the clock struck midnight,

I mouthed: "Happy birthday"

You looked at me with those eyes and said:

"I might as well just go away"

One year more

It's only making you more thorn

I just wish I could tell you: "It's okay, baby"

But I doubt you would believe me

Yes, the years that make the distance between us

Could certainly reduce all our hope to dust

But I think that it is our souls

That really make us whole

You say we're in different places in our lives

Maybe you're right

You're an adult, and seem to perceive me like a child

I'm trying so much not to be one for you, trust me, I try

I gave you your birthday gift yesterday

A video of all our best moments together

I was scared you would feel like I betrayed

What you could consider as a secret

Clips of that night when *almost* everything finally seemed right

You were thinking that way too, right?

You were scared that we were gonna get caught

But it didn't stop us

Listen, I know what you're gonna say

"That night was an exception"

You were all weird, and confused, and it was fun

"But we can't consider it, no way"

I'm so, so sorry

But you can't stop me

From thinking that that night, only that night

We were both in love.
