Sorry

Maybe if time was merciful, I could have shown her another side of me and we would be together forever. It seems that I cannot go back and change my mistakes, so I remain stuck in this hell...
I'm so sorry
for everything I did wrong
for what I may have done
that hurt you.
Please forgive me
but the pain hurt so long,
and I thought that you were the one,
that this love was true.
Now I see
I was mistaken.
That was never the truth...
God, I'm so sorry
if I hurt you
I wish I could take it all back.
I wish I could take it all away.
I never meant for this to happen
I just didn't know what to do
or even what to say.
I want to make things better,
go back to where it had started
and show you that I meant it true,
even if it meant a million poems and songs,
or a million letters
I would show you how much I loved you.
How I was wrong...
I'm so sorry
I was too quiet
too silent
too afraid.
God, I wish I could change it all,
but I cannot.
The past is the past,
the love was never meant to last.
I guess I must move on
now that you're gone.
I'm so sorry
please forgive me.
