Forgive Me

There are so many ways to say sorry
But no one way
Would make you forgive me

For what I did left you empty
Left you with a scar
That may never heal

One that would never fade
But I come to you again
On my knees
Knowing I'm not worthy

To be even seen
By your gracious smile
And your kind eyes
But I still ask

Humble and meek
For you to give me
The forgiveness I seek
Because when I look at you

I see everything I want
Everything I need
And everything I adore
I didn't know it then

But I know it now
This is me swallowing my pride
Coming to you
Saying I was wrong

Another way just to say
How much I want you
Because I pick up the phone
To call

But I put it back down
For fear of being rejected
I see you in the corridor
And I want to run to you
And every time I don't
I almost do

Restraining myself from you
Because tout have every right
To hate me
To punish me
To reject me
I deserve it

I would always be the first to say
I was
But that doesn't stop me
From wanting
From trying
From hoping.
