With this pen and paper in hand,

I write this letter to you

in hopes you'll understand

how regretful I have become

of all the mistakes I've made

and the changes I have succumb

How could I not see all the wrong?

I thought I would never change,

I believed I was strong.

You were me, I was you,

but over a course of time

a new person I turned into.

I have forgotten who I was,

now I've truly lost myself

and it hurts, it really does.



I stand before you as a new man

for I have changed from within

I'm no longer the man you knew

now the remnense of who I had been



This is my letter to you...

Forgive me for my sins,

forgive me for being untrue

I look back to you and cry.

You were everything I wanted

Please tell me how and why

I changed everything that you were.

Tell me how this came to be,

Tell me why this had to occur.

I am nothing to you when compared

Where you would stand strong and bold,

I will now run, hide, and scared.

You lend a helping hand in need

Where I will turn and look away

and hold tighter to my greed.

Your heart is so pure, so holy;

Mine is corrupted, tainted,

dirty and dying ever so slowly.



I stand before you as a new man

for I have changed from within

I'm no longer the man you knew

now the remnense of who I had been



I miss you, and the person I used to be

Who have I become?

Who is this person I am that you see?

I cannot accept myself being so strange

I will do whatever it takes,

anything to reverse the change.

This letter is to you, to me of the past

asking for forgiveness of the mistakes

I have made to make you no longer last.

I've lost you and lost myself over time

All I can do is repent for my sins

and try to justify my crime.

You and I were so close, now far away.

I hope to be you again some day,

but for now all I can do is say...



I stand before you as a new man

for I have changed from within

I'm no longer the man you knew

now the remnense of who I had been.
