Life unwanted but found

They say I should forgive you. God says to forgive. I can’t forgive you. I can’t forget that you broke apart everything I had. I hate you. They never asked for this. You forget them as is they never existed. Now you bring a new life into this world. They don’t hate you. Two years have passed and you never seen how beautiful she is. How her smile can break you down. She looks just like you. You hurt her but she will never detest you. I want all this to go away. I wanted everything I could not have. I still remember the day she opened her eyes. Too young to realize what I had. Now I’m starting to see what wonderful gifts I have. I don’t ever want to let go of them. They take me for who I am. They are real never will they fake it. They don’t see my imperfections. They don’t try to make me something I’m not. I’m failing them and I know it. My true loves. Loving no one more than them.
