not because

you would find understanding
but not because i told you.
let understanding come to you in dreams,
as it came to me.

you would find forgiveness
but not because i asked you.
let forgiveness come to you in time,
as it came to me.

you would find peace
but not because i showed you.
let it come to you through forgiveness and understanding,
as it came to me.
