Part of Missing You

Everyone marked you the bad one, 
But no one saw how you shone like the sun. 
You could never fail me, 
No matter what you came to be. 
Thought I'd never lose you, 
But here I am, writing about you. 
I wish we could have had more time, 
But sometimes plans change. 
I still remember when I got the news, 
It's the most vivid memory I have. 
I tried to deny it for days, 
Then I saw myself before your grave. 
Being lowered 6 feet under, 
While I couldn't do anything. 
Now I'm living life with a guilty conscience, 
Knowing I could have prevented this. 
Soon we'll be together; 
But until then, I'll carry you in my heart forever.

I'M Sorry

I’m sorry first, and I’m sorry last.
I’m sorry for how I changed the future, but mainly sorry for the past.
What I did hurt you, there’s no excuse.
I had fixed your heart, only to leave it bruised.
I know saying sorry won’t fix everything between us, 
I don’t want us to go through anymore fights, arguments, no more fuss.
Maybe you’ll soon forgive me, or maybe never.
I just want you to know, that we should be together, forever.
You’re the sparkle in my eyes, every morning.
You came into my life without a warning. 
You came without any introduction,
You came without a single instruction.
I was hooked on you like I never have been before,
Before I knew it, you had swept me off the floor.
I was scared, yet eager to explore you.
You painted my world from black and white to all sorts of hues.
You helped me get rid of bad habits, some you couldn’t control.
But my happiness, our happiness was your main goal.
I don’t know why I said the things I said, 
I don’t know why such lies, I spread.
I regret it all, 
I’m trying hard not to bawl. 
I have a knot in my throat, I cannot swallow.
Without you near me, I feel hollow.
Knowing I can lose you is a possibility, 
Messes with my stability.
I never meant for things to go this way, 
I never meant to push you away.
This bad storm, we can endure.
I love you so much, of that I am sure.
I’m gonna fix all this, I don’t know when or how,
But I’m sorry is all I got for now.
