FORGIVE ME?


I see you sitting there...so together
But inside the tears keep falling.
I see the anger, the disappointment.
Inside...I hear a voice that's calling.
At night's end...you pretend,
It doesn't matter that there's no one waiting at home.
Well, I know that it matters, because I too am alone.

Now for every woman that ever hurt you.
For every tear that fell from your eyes.
Here and now, I'd like to apologize.

I'm sorry for the other woman,
That made you feel less than the king that you are.
I'm sorry that she reached for the moon,
When in her hand she held...a star.

I'm sorry for all the times you needed to be loved,
But she was never willing.

I'm sorry for the broken promises,
I'm sorry for the fear, the risk...
Here and now, with my soul...with my heart...
To you I apologize.

I'm sorry for the many nights,
You spent staring at the phone,
I'm sorry for the birthdays, the holidays.
Just the days you spent alone.

I'm sorry that when you needed me most,
I just turned and walked away.
I'm sorry for the first time you said,
"I'll never love again."

I'm sorry for the scars,
That no medicine can heal.
But most of all...I'm sorry I took you for granted.
Never realizing...the Strength...the Beauty...the Glory...
The Wonder...that is YOU.

Let this be a moment of healing......
Here and now.........I apologize.

(for Adam)
