Needing Forgiveness

As I look back on my life
My eyes start to water
And a quiet sadness falls over my heart
My mind filled with the wrongs I've done
I remember all the hurt I caused you
And the tears start to fall to the floor
I try to think of a reason why
But none of them are good enough
There are no excuses for the way I acted
I know you'll never forget the pain
And the hurting just don't disappear
I hope one day you'll forgive me
And get past what I've done
I have yet to forgive myself
The fear of hatred is holding me back
I'll feel more complete if the day ever comes
When you finally forgive me
I hate the way I made you feel
But I can only start my saying sorry
I know there is more to be said and done
I just hope you can get past the pain
