forgiveness

many years have passed since
i have broken your heart
i like to believe i have been forgiven
i like to believe we're friends again

we can talk easy and not dwell on the past
talk about the past but not our past
we don't relive the days of us
we relive the days before us

though you are with someone special
and i truly hope he's the one you've waited
destined to fill your days with love
still you've treasured me as a friend

i never let go because we had so much history
without that past i am not me
im thankful that whatever happened to us
you still forgiven me

you can consider this as my overdue apology
for the pain  i've caused that made you cry
for the tears i've caused to swell in your eyes
for the heartache that made you wish you'd die

and i thank you for letting me be a friend again
though i am not worthy to be one
thank you for not giving up on me
thank you for letting the past stay in the past
