I Won't Apologize

I WON’T APOLOGIZE

I won’t apologize for love
I wouldn’t want to try
To pardon love born stars
From a sentimental sky
And lower them to dust
Make less out of us
Than what we were
I won’t apologize

I cannot offer less
Or make my love regress
Like it did not exist
You can’t take back a kiss
When it died upon my lips
It belongs in the garden of my flesh
With the one who loved you best
I won’t apologize

I cannot apologize
For passions’ trembling hands
And how my knees would fail
So I could barely even stand
When you were close to me
And I could feel you breathe
The sweet perfume of your heart
Into my hair and face
No one will take your place
So I won’t apologize

I won’t apologize
For loving you today
And I will love you no less
As you walk away
To another love
You think is better
But please remember
I loved you first, I loved you best
And I won’t apologize
Except for the fact, I couldn’t win you back
And for that……. I Apologize
