On the beach of forgiveness

[Verse 1]

We sit in a circle around the open fire,
Faces dancing in the light and time.
Friends from the past, thought lost,
Laughing like they used to—nothing hurts anymore.
Some raise their glasses, nod to me,
As if I had never really been gone.
And amid the sound of crackling embers,
I see him standing there, the one I never forgot.

[Pre-Chorus]

A glance that says more than a thousand questions,
A silence that leads me home.

Chorus

On the beach of loving contemplation,
In the red sand, by the sea of forgiveness,
I am allowed to be, I am allowed to feel, I am allowed to doubt,
And still move on.
Between old love and new light
I ask myself what my heart promises
And the answer lies not in obligation
But in life itself

Verse 2

Oswald, my guide, fatherly silent,
Someone who knows me better than I know myself.
We walk away from the crowd,
From the new pool that promises healing.
“I'm so happy to see you again,”
I say quietly, almost childishly free.
He just smiles and says very gently:
“I was always there, close to you.”

Pre-Chorus 2

Every word like a warm wind,
That calms old scars.

Chorus

On the beach of loving contemplation
In the red sand, by the sea of forgiveness
I am allowed to be, I am allowed to feel, I am allowed to doubt
And still move on
Between old love and new light
I ask myself what my heart promises
And the answer lies not in obligation
But in life itself

Bridge

Can I love both, carry both,
Without losing myself?
He looks at me as if he knows everything,
And simply lets my hesitation remain.
"Live your life, follow your heart,
Just as you always have."

Final chorus (quiet → louder)

On the beach of loving contemplation,
I learn to forgive myself.
Not every love has to end.
Some are allowed to be together.
I nod silently because I feel it.
Not loud, not perfect, just true.
And in the silence, I suddenly know:
He was right—all along.

Outro

The fire burns, the sea is still,
And I stay for a moment longer.
