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