It Would Be Nice

It would be nice to hear you say I’m sorry. It would be nice to hear you own up to your mistakes in full. It would be nice to see you try to make amends for the damage you have done Although it would be nice, it is not necessary: my peace of mind is not based on your apology. Even if you never show remorse I still have the power to forgive you. Even if you do the same thing to me a thousand times I still have the power to forgive you Even if you turn around and do something worse I have the power to forgive you for that as well. When I forgive you I am setting myself free from the negative energy that comes with holding a grudge against you You are forgiven You are forgiven because I am forgiven If I can be forgiven of all my sins Then you can be forgiven of all your trespasses against me. It would be nice to hear you say I’m sorry. It would be nice to hear you own up to your mistakes in full. It would be nice to see you try to make amends for the damage you have done Although it would be nice, it is not necessary: my peace of mind is not based on your apology. I have to remember that I am not perfect either I have to remember that there are people out there that I have trespassed against who have forgiven me, people I have done the same thing to over and over. I have not apologized to them, nor do I need to in order for them to have peace of mind, but it would be nice. Nevertheless I am forgiven by them And you are forgiven by me It would be nice to hear you say I’m sorry. It would be nice to hear you own up to your mistakes in full. It would be nice to see you try to make amends for the damage you have done Although it would be nice, it is not necessary: my peace of mind is not based on your apology.
