Will you forgive me?

I've had you in my reach
So many times
I've almost died listening
But I'm still here

I've run away when you've tried to get me
Yet I'd rather run to your arms
All I ask is you to forgive me
Before this love starts to harm

I desperately need
Something that's no longer here
I'm afraid to ask
Rejection do I fear

I will never notice
What will or shall be
All I notice you're more than a hundred miles
Away from me

And through all the pain and hardships
You could always make me laugh
And when you were down I'd lift you
On both of our behalfs

If I could just hold you tight
And never let go
I would
I just wish you could know

So,will you forgive me
For always being shy
And just accept me
And not ask why?

Please
Just for old time's sake
