i am so sorry

from the deepest depths of my heart

it was all a mistake

i should have never left you

it took losing you to figure it out

i don't blame you for your harshness against me

i would be as upset too

but you're one of the greatest people

i've ever had the priviledge of knowing

one of the most beautiful, inside and out

you're leaving soon for the other side of the country

your physical soundness will never hold me, enclose me

make me feel safe, loved and beautiful

i hugged you, felt your strength encircle me

i just wanted to hold you forever

i know it was my decision

and i regret that now

i am so sorry

but sorry just isn't enough
