Apologies.
Our love it knew no bounds
Reciprocal affection.
Respect turned into jealousy,
We somehow lost direction.
We failed to find our way
Unhappiness, mistrust
Joy turned into sadness
You and I to dust.
I often get to thinking
We should have tried once more.
But nothing says “ It’s over!”
Like the slamming of a door.
I’d like to say I’m sorry.
For thinking of myself.
You became my trophy
Left lonely on a shelf.
A little of my time
That’s all you really wanted.
Your ghost stays in my memory.
Forever I’ll be haunted.
We now love other people.
I never would have guessed.
A love that was so perfect.
Now in such a mess.
We march into our future
Until the day we die.
Living with the memories.
That once were you and I.
That love we once both shared.
We buried deep inside.
Too painful to recall
Away from it we hide.
I’d really love to see you.
Purely to explain.
Without recrimination.
Without alloting blame
I sometimes miss the passion.
The way it brightly burned
We both know that we’re over.
Never to return.
Our love is gone forever,
Never to be found.
Our love became destructive.
Raised it to the ground.
No reconciliations
No matter how we try
The flame we lit together
Put out and left to die.
The party’s almost over.
And time for me to say.
I never meant to hurt you.
Or make you go away.
I’m sorry how we parted
I cannot find the words.
But I hope you’ve found the love you need.
The love that you deserve.
