Can you forgive me dear friend?
Can you forgive me the hurt, I caused?
Can you find it in your heart, dear friend,
that compassion, I know I do not deserve!

I’ve been reckless with my choice of words
Took you for granted with what I said.
How cruel I’ve been, I now realize
and careless to think you’d not be offend.

How how I wish, I could take back
How I wish, I could eat my words
When I ponder on those words I said
and the deeds that sowed the seed.

I’ve shed remorseful tears,
and long to know your forgiveness
What I said was not correct
But now past the time it is.
For sorrow now engulfs my heart!

To think I put you through this pain
I was careless, reckless and unabashed
Putting myself before your needs
I promised to be a true friend.
But could not get further than this.

I deserve your silence,
I deserve your ridicule
I deserve that you ignore.
For had I been in the same place,
I know that’s what I’d do for sure.

I am not asking that you take me back
I am not asking that you make amends
Just the words would suffice
To make me feel, that I am right again.

Your forgiveness would be the healing touch
My soul longs for so desperately!
For this would be setting me free
Knowing what I did to upset you..
This is the least of all things..

I shall forever remember this fate
that sealed my destiny..
Maybe our paths never cross again and so my plea..
The only prayer that’d escape my lips and a sigh to God above
Is to bless you and keep you dear friend,
Sheltered in His love!
