Asking for forgivenesss is making peace with yourself. It does not matter if the response is a "yes, I forgive you" or "no, I cannot forgive you". Irregardless of the response, knowing that something negative happened either within or out of control; had left someone out there hurt. Realising this from within, first forgive oneself. Forgive yourself for allowing yourself to be in that situation. Accept that it was done, past. No one can turn back time. It is not repairable. Let it go.

Open your heart and make peace within yourself. Tell the person that you are hurt because he/she is hurt. Seeking forgiveness is never too late. Forgiving is never too late. We may not be worthy of forgiveness, but that is not our burden to carry. The burden becomes heavy when remorse, repent, hurt, pain is not realised because of human ego, pride, anger that clouds the mind.

Make peace within by letting go, forgive yourself, ask for forgiveness.

Do not carry the weight of the response upon your shoulders should the other party refuse to accept your apology. The burden is not yours to carry anymore. Surrender it to the Almighty.
