Don't be afraid to make mistakes
At least you know you're livin
The debts and pain, from when you strayed
Well man, all's forgiven
All's forgiven

They'd found a quiet bench in a nearby park, and Dean only tightened his grip on Cas' fingers when his voice drifted through the dark. The end to this conversation was never the same, but the beginning to it always was.
"What I've done to everybody-to Claire, to Sam, but especially to you... they're things I can't forget, that I will always regret."
"Cas, angel.." Dean watched Cas' lashes flicker shut at the name, pressed a kiss to his knuckles. "You've been forgiven for those, a hundred times over. You know that. Every mistake we made, no matter how shitty, got us here."
"I do know that. And my errors are not the focus of this conversation." Cas' eyes fluttered open, and Dean's breath caught in his throat. "They're merely a small detail in it."
