I Saw You on The Street Today

I saw you on the street today
I did not know what to say
I couldn’t face you standing there
The knowing stare I could not bare
I slowed my pace as not to meet
On this gray and dreary street
You may have known long before I did
Where your husband’s heart was hid
I was blinded to the signs
I didn’t want his heart as mine
You may have known and suffered alone
Seeing where his affection was shone
If I had known I would have set him free
Naïve, I guess. Blind, maybe
I didn’t know till those words three
I’m in love with thee.
I told him no, and walked away
But from me he just wouldn’t stay
He pressed; he pushed, and then just took
As in fear my heart shook
Scared and all alone, so very far from home
My flesh gave into this most horrible sin
I respect you and hold you in highest esteem
Wishing I could say that this was just a dream
You can hate me forever, it would be justified
Know that I am sorry and every night I have cried
I don’t know how to repay the damage that is done
Or stop that fallout that’s begun
I’m so sorry for betraying you in this way
At your mercies I now lay
My confession is sincere
Though maybe not what you want to hear
That is all that I can say
No words have I to repay
I ask your forgiveness for my sin against you
Knowing this is what God has asked me to do

This is so sincere and so sad... I hope your apology is accepted and that things work out for all concerned...
I have often written apologies instead of doing face to face...

| This one, after much much much prayer...will be a face to face or phone to phone apology. It will all be in God's timing. |

Dear LJ, Yes, this would be difficult to speak .. or to hear, knowing the scope of hurting that is being experienced. Some say a letter is cowardly, but I think its surely better than no apology. Some things, people will accept in a poem that they would never stand still long enough to hear! One does whatever they are able to make amends, then let it go, right?

I do agree. But this apology will eventually be in person...well that's the plan as of now. That is what God has called me to do and that is what I must do regardless of the consequences.
Friend, LJ |
