In serious matters
you were always wise
to smile disarmingly.

While I was always
attempting to subvert
myself under layers.

I'm sorry you had to see me cry.

In times of trouble
you would always stand
tall and stalwartly.

While I would dig
holes under problems
and hope to cave them in.

I'm sorry I let you see me cry.

Well, I never asked for regrets
but they put me in my place

You were saving drowning love,
while I was busy saving face.

I'm sorry,
but I never asked for this.
To wonder where you're sleeping
to forget about your kiss.
