Forgive me the days of silence, days of diving to the very bottom, days of zeroing, absence of guidance, The idle summer and aimless autumn days when it seems that I don't care... Forgive me the days of madness and sadness... Forgive me the darkness and burst of despair Forgive me the years of experience, Freeing myself from the shackles of inference Forgive me interfering in the course of events, forgive me for confusion, vanity and haste Forgive me expectations and discontents Forgive the time I sometimes waste Forgive me forgetting the dates... Forgive me everything both can recall I love you above all
