“Forgiveness falls like a gentle rain from heaven to earth. Is he blessed twice because he blesses the one who gives it and the recipient?
William Shakespeare
- Love me when I least deserve it.
- Because it’ll be when I need it most.
- Love me and take care of me.
- When I fail you.
- I fail you too.
- Because when I get angry for no reason.
- Or I’m looking for a reason to do it.
- It’s because something in me is wrong.
Love me when I make mistakes, always love me. You may have your reasons for not loving me, staying away from me until the storm passes, keeping me in your memories, and starting to live freely.
It may have caused you pain, and you’re still following him. It hurts too, and I’m sorry. This part of me is me too; at least in the past, and it still is today.
Then love me when I least deserve it, because everything complements me, because I also need support to wage my emotional battles aloud.
I need your support in my nights when there are no stars, when I cry, when I cry, when I behave badly.
When we’re in trouble, we just need the others. We need you to support us, we need you to guide us, we need you to know that we are worthy of unconditional love. After the storm, there’s a pause.
And there are times when the whole world collapses on us, but they say that no evil lasts a hundred years, and that anything that hurts us will pass an hour.
I ask you to take my place and try to understand that when I’m wrong it’s because I’m in a bad situation too. I need you to show me that the world is not a hostile place where it is attacked when you are weak, with the sole intention of taking you down, without you being able to get up.
When we’re in a storm followed by a tornado, we lose control
Because if my mistake today has hurt you, I know you’ll forgive me, I know you know I deserve your forgiveness and the joy of being able to progress together.
I am that child with bad grades, the girlfriend who gets angry, the husband who does everything wrong, the mother who does not let her child out, the teacher who makes mistakes, the child who broke a vase, the dog who broke a pillow, The employee who forgot to do a task, the person who was unfair to you?
Because in each of these situations I need you to love me, because I am the one who deserves your love when everything is fine, when everything is simple.
My mistakes and failures are typical of me, us and our circumstances, they correspond to a percentage of misfortunes that make us appreciate joys, are lessons that, over time, become experiences.
Stay with those who know your worst version and, instead of leaving it, choose to stay and help you get better
I feel sad when I offer you my worst version, collapse and I feel guilty for not living up to it, I want to be able to forgive myself, but I need you.
I understand the importance of what happened, I understand that sometimes we see no choice but punishment, I understand the clouds of anger and I understand that our reason is lost, but your comfort, acceptance and understanding will help me to always be a little better. Love me when I don’t deserve it, because this will be the moment when I’ll need your love the most.
