Please forgive me!

Please, give me a 
Second chance!
I beg you!
I know;
I am not perfect.

I remember the day 
I broke our relationship 
To pieces;
Before that fateful fall,
You were good to me.
Your reassured me that
If all else failed,
Only you had my back.
You loved me more than
I loved you.
You knew this,
Yet you continued
To love me unconditionally,
Even when I abused you,
Verbally and physically.
That day, I had had enough.
I left,
Looking for something more;
The grass must be 
Greener on the other side.
I was convinced of this.
So I left you.
But you did not beg me
To stay,
Because you knew
I would come running
Back to you,
Someday, somehow.

I met new friends,
Made new loves,
But like a lighter
Leaking gas,
Those relationships extinguished 
Slowly and painfully.
I was alone.
Yet I was not convinced 
You were enough for me.
I travelled the roads
Of ecstasy, of hedonism,
Of meaningless love,
Only to end up at
The gates of addiction;
I was addicted to searching
For something; of going round
The same road hoping to find
Something different.

It was until I saw
My life stagnating
That I thought of you.
Then it dawned in me;
No one could love me as 
Much as you do!
I ran back to you.
I got on my knees.
Please forgive me!
Give me a second chance!
I beg you!
I promise to love you
For eternity,
To treat you right.

Then you looked at me
Lovingly,
Through the mirror.
You saw my tears
And I saw yours.
You saw my pain
And I saw yours.
You wiped my tears
And I wiped yours.
“I love you”, I said.
“I love you”, you replied.
