Unforgiven Tongue
I don't know about you but I have this pride factor about being right. It has always existed to a fault. I make it and you are either this way or not. As I've gotten older I've tried to let people know they can think different but when push comes to shove my point is always sharp.
I've been listening to the Timberland song "Apologize" where they say "Its too late to apologize!" The songs starts by talking about a person who yet again has been verbally beat up - like so many of my victims - and then the victimizer turns to them and says sorry. This song mirrors another song I have always loved and believed called "More than Words".
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
Its not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
More than Words is where the singer takes the right to say "I love you" away from someone and the measures their "love" based on how they are treated. This is sort of juvenile but at the same time I see an opportunity for us to love like we mean it.
What does this mean for me who slipped again? Well I'm confused about what I believed was so hurtful, but I am sorry I hurt someone. If I wasn't at least remorseful then I'd be really scared of whom I've become. The tongue is so powerful as it can lift a person up or cut them in half; consistent action with a controlled "bridled" tongue will show value for another person and help us to remember just what love is.
