Okay this sounded better in my head then on paper but I decided to put it on here anyways.

Ranger's POV

In this farewell

There's no blood

There's no alibi

'Cause I've drawn regret

From the truth

Of a thousand lies

I've done some things that I'm not proud of. In my past I have killed people, no questions asked simply because the order came from someone at a higher rank then me. I never thought this was a problem until I met Stephanie Plum, my Babe. One time during a mission I was in charge of taking out the big gun, the guy in charge. I went quietly behind him and snapped his neck, at the time I thought nothing was wrong with that.

So let mercy come

And wash away

What I've done

When I met Stephanie she was a breath of fresh air. She still is. She sees the good in everyone. She looks at me like I'm a superhero and I feel on top of the world. Now I desperately want people, who I don't know, to forgive me, whether it's a higher power then us all or the families of the innocent people I've killed.

To face myself

To cross out what I've become

Erase myself

And let go of what I've done

I knew the first step was letting it go myself. Awhile after I met Stephanie I resigned my contract with the government. I didn't want to leave everything I held close, to leave the country, to eliminate a father, a husband, a son. It took a few years for the government to get everything straight and find another soldier to kill for them. Now I'm officially a free man. Free from the government practically forcing me to kill, sometimes innocent people, not physically but with all the contracts I signed when I was young and stupid. They make mistakes. Order to eliminate the wrong person or to eliminate more then one because its convenient and will save time and expenses.

Put to rest

What you thought of me

While I clean this slate

With the hands of uncertainly

A lot of people think I am a cold person with no feelings. On the street that is a good thing but most places it is a horrible thing. To say my personal life doesn't suffer from my lifestyle would be a flat out lie, but that was before Stephanie came along. She saw the good in me. We have a connection that no one would understand. The main reason I don't share my personal life with new people is because most of the time they don't stick around. When they leave they know my weaknesses and faults. I have made many enemies over the years. The enemy thinks the same thing as the street, that I'm cold and unfeeling. If they knew my faults they would use them against me without a second thought.

For what I've done

I start again

And whatever pain may come

Today this ends

I'm forgiving what I've done

I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of. With the help of my Babe, my Stephanie, even if she didn't realize it, I'm forgiving myself for everything I've done and regretted. I'm starting over. I'm still going to be a bounty hunter and run Rangeman. I have no doubt that I will have to hurt and maybe kill some people but I'll answer to only myself. My morals will be stronger and I will never kill another innocent person.

What I've done

Forgiving what I've done

Honestly, I don't know anything about the government and all that stuff so forgive me it there's any mistakes. The song is What I've Done by Linkin Park.
