For the past year
I've carried this burden.
Held this grudge close
like the lover it's replaced
the friend that's been lost.
So long I forgot it's weight
forgot even I carried it
until I saw you again.
Felt that familiar pang.
What happened to you?
what happened to me?
I don't recognise either of us
and I don't know if I'm brave enough to forgive you
because that means asking you to forgive me.
I've got to be tentative.
I don't know what to say.
I've got to listen to my soul
I've got to find a way
back to you.
Can "I'm sorry" mean a thing
in spite of all the damage I've done?
Can I summon the courage
to say it?
