When a Man Asks Forgiveness (Lawrence M. Tayug)

Pardon me, please…pardon me

If I haven’t listened to you sometimes,

If I haven’t given you time to speak,

If sometimes I find you weak.

Forgive me, friend…forgive me,

I didn’t mean to hurt you;

I’ve caused you so much pain,

And I know it makes your heart ache.

Sorry, girl…I’m so sorry

For taking you for granted,

For being rude and insensitive,

For not giving the love

That a friend should give.

And even though I have you,

I still keep searching;

But then, I find no one else.

Shall I lose my only one?

Pardon me, and forgive me

For words unintentionally spoken.

Forgiveness is all I need.

Love and care

Is what I’ve always wanted.

If only I can still have your heart,

I promise no more “sorries” will come;

Because I will search no more…

Because I will love you more…
