Song lyrics by Dokken [i]I lit a candle in your honor today Prayed for forgiveness for the things that I said And now I wake up and see I was wrong All those years wasted / now come and gone How many years have I been this way The lines grow deeper / time fades away Now etched in stone don't have the strength anymore To break down these walls again I lit a candle In Your Honor today Everything will come around again And you never know that maybe someday Everything will come around again Now I see you on the other side Sunshine raining down upon your face You look so beautiful that place where you live You walk among your dreams we talked about So I stand here and I stare In my garden of neglect Never noticed it before That it's winter all the time Was too busy staring at Your garden that you grew in time I can see it took a lot of years Your colors fill my mind I lit a candle In Your Honor today Everything will come around again And you never know that maybe someday Everything will come around again Even though the years keep passing / I reflect About the one I truly loved and pushed away Suddenly I stop and feel That winter rain I know so well And close my eyes Wish you all the best And you never know I lit a candle In Your Honor today Everything will come around And you never know that maybe someday Everything will come around I lit a candle In Your Honor today Prayed for forgiveness for the things that I said And you never know that maybe someday Everything will come around[/i] I absolutely love this song and find that the lyrics fit a situation in my life that happened so long ago.. Have you ever hurt someone without meaning to, and seek forgiveness only to find that they just can't forgive ya? and no matter how many times you say that you are sorry (with everything inside of you).. you know there are no words or actions to actually convey the true sorrow that you feel.. or mend anything. At what lengths do you go to .. to say or show you're sorry for what you said or did that hurt someone?

I've seen Dokken a few years back and WOW. Yes I have hurt at least 1 person pretty bad and I think about it from time to time. Sometimes I wish I would have done things different but you can't change the past. I'm sooo happy now and I can only hope the other person found a way to be happy too. Sometimes you have to do things so you can be happy in your life.
