A poem about mistakes, regret, forgiveness and love.
A lonely and unforgiven man
filled with sorrow and grief
and pain
haunted by the mistakes of the past
drifted confused.
He sat down and thought:
there are 12 months in a year
if only he could send a flower a month
then she would know
how much he cared for her
how much he loved her
and wanted to be everything she wanted him to be.
Could he send a flower a month?
He sat down and thought:
there are 52 weeks in a year
if only he could send a flower a week
then she would understand
how much he missed her
and how much his life was not complete
only empty without her.
Could he send a flower a week?
He sat down and thought:
there are 365 days this year
if only he could send a flower a day
then she would realise
how he lived for her
how he always had lived for her
and how he always would.
Could he send a flower a day?
At the end of one year he thought:
as there was only one desire in his life
what if he offered his never ending passion
what if he offered his continued devotion
and his every thought to her.
Could he offer those things?
At the end of one year he thought:
as there was only one woman for him
what if he promised to be faithful
what if he promised his eternal love
and promised never to fail her.
Could he promise all these things?
At the end of one year he thought:
as there was nothing but her in his heart
what if he gave his heart to her
what if he gave his life to her
and his inner self to her.
Could he give all of this?
He continued thinking and knew
there was only one thing for him to decide.
He needed to reach into his mind
he needed to feel what his body felt
he needed to grasp his very soul
and ask himself
what it was that he wanted
what it was he existed for
and continued each and every day for.
He needed to make a decision
based upon everything that he would ever be.
Only she can tell you
what his decision was
suffice to say
that the decision may have taken some time
but it was by no means hard.
