Debt Repaid

 Enough now, stop.
 Give yourself time.
  
 What you haven't done—
 stop asking forgiveness for that;
 if someone takes offense, let them.
 Let them mind, you have to let them mind.
  
 There's only one way to forgive yourself:
 accept that the mistake wasn't yours,
 if that's truly how it was.
  
 Just because you love someone
 doesn't mean you must always
 take the blame upon yourself!
  
 If you keep looking back
 how will you move forward?
  
 What you couldn't do—
 with that...
 nothing that lies ahead now
 can be reached.
  
 Rather, what lies ahead,
 what it could become,
 or if you wish,
 what it might become—
 that's everything in life.
  
 What you haven't received in life,
 whatever debt you may owe
 to that absence,
 that debt surely
 won't be paid
 by turning to look back
 a second time.
