I see you sitting there...so together

--Author Unknown

I see you sitting there...so together
But inside the tears keep falling.
I see the anger, the disappointment.
Inside...I hear a voice that's calling.

At night's end...you pretend it doesn't matter that
there's no one
waiting at home.
Well, I know that it matters, because I too
am alone.

Now for every man that ever hurt you.
For every tear that fell from your eyes.
Here and now, I'd like to apologize.
I'm sorry for the many nights,
You spent staring at the phone,
I'm sorry for the birthdays, the holidays.
Just the days you spent alone.

I'm sorry for the other women,
That made you feel less than the queen that you are.
I'm sorry that he reached for the moon,
When in his hand he held...a star.


Here and now, with my soul...with my
heart...To you I apologize.
I'm sorry he never listened to what you had to say.
I'm sorry that when you needed him most,
He just turned and walked away.

I'm sorry for the first time you said,
"I'll never love again" -
I'm sorry for the first time you said, "God
forgive me...but I hate all men."
I'm sorry for all the times you needed to be held,
But he was never there.
I'm sorry for the scars, that no medicine can heal.

I'm sorry for all the times he swore truth,
But you knew every word he said was lies.
Let this be a moment of healing......
Here and now.........

I apologize.

I'm sorry he rejected your child,
Never picked them up when they fell.
I can only say, "If I'm willing to love the woman.
Then I'm willing to love that child as well."
I'm sorry he used your body,
Seeing you as nothing more...than a notch on his belt.

I'm sorry that no answer came,
When your heart cried out for help.
But most of all...I'm sorry he took you for granted.
Never realizing...the Strength...the Beauty...the Glory...
The Wonder...that is YOU.

But to you I say, "Don't give up!
God has something special in store.
To you I say, "Love is around the next
corner, Behind the next door."
And this time, God will give you just what
Your Heart is asking for.

Lord knows..We all make mistakes
We're only human after all.
Just don't be so angry that you turn your back
When true love calls.

So just remember...not every man is the same.
So not every man should bare the blame,
For the deeds of a misguided few.
Remember there are men out there.....
That are willing to love
YOU...JUST...FOR...YOU.
