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
