A Belated Apology
I’m sorry Miss,
That I was so shy before
That I never called you on my own
That I was too young to think ahead
I’m sorry Miss,
That after all the travels and the time spent
That I wouldn’t stay for your birthday
That I only thought of myself
I’m sorry Miss,
That we started losing touch
That we were so close always
That we grew up together
I’m sorry Miss,
That I didn’t see you for years
That it happens to everyone
That I thought it was once okay
I’m sorry Miss,
That when I did see you,
That I avoided an awkward moment
That I even thought it would be uncomfortable
I’m sorry Miss,
That even if you didn’t care
That I can’t help but think about it daily
That it was the last time I’d see you
I’m sorry Miss,
That I ruined our last conversation
That I jumped on assumption
That it was never fair what happened to you
I’m sorry Miss,
That I can’t even be strong for you
That I still remind myself everyday
That I could have said goodbye
I’m sorry Miss,
That still I think of myself
That I feel sorry for my own choices
That I cried when I tried to talk about you
I’m sorry Miss,
That you went through what you did
That you missed out on a lifetime
That I miss you, even though I didn’t know you anymore
