Forgiveness Quote by Shay Savage
““ Forgiveness is the fragrance of the violet which still clings fast to the heel that crushed it. ” Raine’s eyes met mine again, her tears still staining her cheeks. “I’m a heel, Raine,” I told her. “You’re my beautiful violet, and I’m always crushing you. You take away my nightmares, and I probably add to yours. I don’t think I will ever believe I deserve you, but I love you more than I can even describe. I don’t know if I can ever…be better for you, but if you’re willing to keep forgiving me for being a complete idiot, I’m willing to keep trying.””
