Forgive Me

You couldn't hurt me if you tried
For how could I love you when you lied
Love is love it cannot die
So I don't need to know
Every how and Why.

Love is love and you can't fake it
If it's not in your heart
Then you can't make it
I could've loved you till I died
But now I'm cleansed by the tears
I cried
Absolved of my sin of wanting
Too much
Love isn't charity,
It's given in search
Of an answering touch.

But should your love slowly wane or die
My love in my silence is still alive
Nor do I need or want return
And I am rich today, in love alone
You couldn't touch me, if you wanted to.
My love forgive me
I have risen
Above my need for you.
