Do you hate me?\"\n\nAnd when I received no answer,\n\nI feared the worst.\n\nI'm sorry.\n\nMy actions were wrong,\n\nYou blessed me with grace and forgiveness,\n\nIn a time where I believed I deserved neither;\n\nHow can I be so lucky,\n\nTo have an angel like you\n\nWho would put up with a devil like me;\n\nThe shining halo above your head\n\nGlows with brilliance, in stark contrast\n\nTo the shattered ring above mine.\n\n  \n\nI'm sorry.\n\nI promise to you\n\nTo be more aware of you in our future,\n\nIf you'll give us a chance\n\nTo still have a future together;\n\nI give you my word,\n\nTo give you my all\n\nAnd to never take you for granted,\n\nIf you'd absolve me of my sin,\n\nOne more time.","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2146938-i-love-you-like.json"}}
