Apology

by Tina K

How do I tell you I'm sorry - With a gesture, a look, a touch? How is it I never realized I hurt you so very much? I do not ask forgiveness, A comfort I'll never deserve. I merely want to let you know, But I cannot find the nerve. To finally confront you, face-to-face, To look you in the eye, To face your wrath, your apathy - Too terrified to try. You called me selfish, I turned away, I festered and I fled; Cutting and wounding and lashing out, Just to see if you bled. Betraying and deceiving you, I surely had no right To snatch away such a precious gem; A dark thief in the night. Four years and forever passed To bring us to this day, When I present these simple words I never thought to say. The time has come, it's long past due, To put aside my fear; Would this confession torture you, Or have you longed to hear? To hear those two forbidden words, To vanquish all the pain, To understand my dearest wish: To know you once again. The years aged me remarkably, Though they have not made me wise; I do know I erred irrevocably - For that I apologize.

At the beginning

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(chorus)

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you
