"In time, you'll forgive me." he had said all those years ago. She had never believed him. He was a coward, and one who didn't deserve forgiveness on any level. She had given so much just to see him smile...and he had thrown all her work away, simply because he was confused.
"It's just, when I look at us, I can't see me. I know I sound selfish, but I'd break you too with time, if you gave me any." She shouldn't ponder his words, not now. 'They' had happened so long ago. He shouldn't matter now, should he? Sometimes she thought that he didn't, that alone he was completely different; that all that had mattered was them.
"Goodbye." At least he had remembered to say goodbye. That meant that he wouldn't forget them. She shivered, and she wondered why, seeing as she felt so warm. He had loved her, hadn't he? He just couldn't be himself for her. That made sense, didn't it?
But he had left her. She wouldn't have minded being alone, if she didn't have to feel so lonely. Was he alone too? Or had he found someone else, someone that didn't make him bend?...she had never meant to force him. She had got so caught up in her fantasy, in an unrealistically perfect man, that she had forgotten to recognize the one in front of her. Beggars aren't choosers.
She hadn't loved him. She was in love with someone that didn't exist. So why did she keep searching for him?
"In time, you'll forgive me." she mumbled to herself, repeating the words just to remember them clearly. She knew she couldn't stay disappointed in him. He had done what he had needed. She just needed to grow up.

Forgiveness, pass it on.
