Let Me Apologize

Let Me Apologize

Let me apologize
for liking you
for telling you that I do
and not lying to you when you asked if I thought you were the one.

Let me apologize
for the hurt
for being the cause and not the solution
and the spoken words that tore at your heart.

Let me apologize
for not keeping my promise
for loving you
and for acting weird when you looked at someone else.

Let me apologize
for the times I wasn’t there
for not being a better ‘best’ friend
and for not finding that title enough.

Let me apologize
for that one time
for when I told you I liked you and ran
and that you found me crying in the end.

Let me apologize
for the streak of jealousy in me
for hating you when you said “I don’t understand’
and bailing on you when you needed help.

Let me apologize
for trusting you with my heart
for hurting you
for loving you

Let me apologize.
