I saw you today,
for the first time in forever.
We fell off with communication,
after you told me I could do better.
I was so lost at the time,
not seeking any answers.
The bad habits that I had,
were eating at me like cancer.
I promised you a thousand times,
that I would pull it together.
But for every season that changed,
you endured the same weather.
I don't blame you for leaving,
I was killing us both.
I know looks can be deceiving,
but I was sinking our boat.
You had to swim to shore,
when the waves got too rough.
And instead I went to war,
back then I thought I was tough.
I was chasing sunsets,
that never seemed to die.
While building up walls,
between you and I.
I promised you so many things,
I could never deliver.
I swore you'd be my world,
and only gave you a sliver.
I wrote this to let you know,
that I'm not oblivious to your hurt.
And this is my apology,
for whatever it's worth.
I know words can't mend,
the months that we lost.
But I'm willing to get them back,
at whatever the cost.
Sorry means nothing,
when people don't change.
Today I wouldn't trade your love,
for even fortune and fame.
I hope when you read this,
you finally see.
That those days of darkness are over,
you can finally breathe...
