Forgive me;
Had I been but blind,
I would've seen.

"I don’t want to hurt her."
Does that mean you don't hurt at all?

"I’ll stop it from happening."
Does that mean you'll catch my fall?

It might not be intentionally,
But you managed to hurt me,
In a way no one else ever could,
Or ever would.

Forgive me;
Had I just read between the lines,
I would've seen.

"When the feeling grows stronger,
There will be more disappointment"
And so I congratulate you, brother,
On your accurate prediction.

"I'm so confused."
I never imagined I would cause you to be.
Let your worries be forgotten and soothed,
I won't be your problem intentionally.

"I don't want to get involved…"
Who ever said anything of that kind?

And now the mystery is solved.
After all this time.

Forgive me;
Had I but hoped and dreamed,
I would've seen.
