Analysis of Lessons I Have Learned



For the worst things I have done
They will forever become my deep regrets
But I know my life today is to be one
With you for the rest of my years

Though words rarely spoken
I am truly thankful for your forgiveness
With this I promise to cherish
The love which is still unspoken

We both know it's hard to let go
And each day it's getting stronger
We are moving on with life's winding flow
And hoping it for the better

For it's difficult to imagine
Life other than with you
And here I am thinking of you
Grateful for the lessons I have learned
