you are waiting on a beach
for a healing word to come
maybe an apology in a bottle
maybe a flower that says, "I'm sorry."
and the hurting leaves you numb

will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you don't understand it
let it go

you are waiting on a beach
this is where the east meets west
and as another sun sets on your anger
the darkness laughs, as the wound destroys
and it turns your prayers to noise

will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you won't understand it
let it go

this bitterness you hide
it seeps into your soul
and it steals your joy
'til it's all you know
let it go

will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
He left his rights
will you leave yours?
you won't understand it
let it go

will you forgive?
will you forget?
will you live what you know?
beneath the cross
you hear His words,
"Father, forgive them,"
and you know
you can't understand it
let it go

Incase you all diddn't know, these are the lyrics to a Newsboys song.  When I was growing up, I used to listen to newsboys alot, so I know alot of the lyrics to the songs.  I haven't heard this song in years, but the lyrics just popped into my mind the other day and reallly hit the nail on the head at where I'm at in my journey.  Waiting desperately for an apology, or some sort of acknowledgement for the pain that was caused to me through a past relationship..  God has been showing me so much lately that if a person doesn't grant you the closure on their end, that the only thing you can do is ask forgiveness for anything you might have done to hurt that person, ask forgiveness from God, forgive yourself, and then let it go.  Letting go has been a hard process, but everyday God has been teaching me so much, and opening my eyes to his beauty.  It is so nice to be walking in God's light rather than in an unhealthy, unbalanced relationship full of denial and illusion.  Thank God for pulling me out of the darkness, even though it was painful.   

Anyway, I know this is a bit of rambling, but I hope this reaches someone who can relate or someone who can be encouraged that they are not alone on whatever part of their journey they are on.
