If I Already Forgave You

If I Already Forgave You

This Poem has been published by Setu सेतु, featuring me as Author of the Month:

If I Already Forgave You
declare(strict_types=1); use Org\Wplake\Advanced_Views\Bridge\Controllers\Layout\Layout_Controller_Base; return new class extends Layout_Controller_Base { /** * @return array */ public function get_variables(): array { return [ // “custom_variable” => get_post_meta($this->get_object_id(), “your_field”, true), // “another_var” => $this->get_custom_arguments()[“another”] ?? “”, ]; } /** * @return array */ public function get_variables_for_validation(): array { // it’s better to return dummy data here [ “custom_variable” => “dummy string”, ] return $this->get_variables(); } /** * @return array */ public function get_ajax_response(): array { // $message = $this->get_container()->get(MyClass::class)->myMethod(); return [ // “message” => $message, ]; } /** * @return array */ public function get_rest_api_response(WP_REST_Request $request): array { // $input = $request->get_json_params(); // $message = $this->get_container()->get(MyClass::class)->myMethod(); return [ // “message” => $message, ]; } };

If I already forgave you,
what would life be?

With the innocence of a toddler
I would look up to you between my first steps,
and smile —
amazed by your existence
at each sight of you;
amazed by my ability
to reach you on my own.

I would just walk to you with that smile
and no clouds in my heart.
Clear as the blue sky —
I know you are the one,
the only one I would walk to
with no other purpose in the world.

If I just forgive you, forgive each of you,
and forgive myself —

I would just walk, walk towards you,
from moment to moment,
I would walk through life,
already and always
in love.
