Forgive
©Kelli Cates

At night, sometimes I hear your voice
My memory gives me no choice
You abandoned me, I could never be your first priority
Sometimes I'll sense you in my dreams
Your smiles, they only make me scream
The life I live you did not want to give, and for the longest time I could not forgive

All I wanted was you
And no other could take the place of you
Should I forgive you?

I was still a baby you you left me, they took me from a family
And as I grow, the resemblance shows, I hope that you someday come to know me
My deepest fear was becoming you
Deep down, I knew it could come true
And from the start I made sure no part of you still lived in my heart
To save me

All I wanted was you
But    others took the place of you
And I'll forgive you

One day we'll meet again
Mend the parts of our past that have broken
I love you, and I want you, I have to see you again

Do you love me?
I still love you

At night, sometimes I hear your voice
My memory gives me no choice
