Take Me Back

I knew you a few years ago. I would talk to you every day, only you could know the secrets that I showed. Did you miss me when I walked away? I told you that I loved you, and that I believe in only you, but then I continued to say that I think I must go. I didn't want to seem uncaring, but I was quietly cheating on you. For all the times I was talking to you, my heart struggled with other worlds too. The battle became too hard, so I had to choose, and like the prodigal child, I took my gift from you and walked away with it all, willingly squandering the truth. I now stand back at your door, are you as forgiving as they say? Will you accept me back now? I'll even become your slave. I learned out on my own that you are worth more than this world, and with that I stand at your doorstep hoping you'll re teach me the truth.
