An Apology To All Women
I’m sorry for not being who you want me to be,
I’m sorry for not being the most attractive of all,
I’m sorry for not being romantic like Romeo was to Juliet,
I’m sorry for not being the funniest man on this planet and make you laugh all of the time,
I’m sorry for not being the richest of kings,
I’m sorry for not being more than one person who knows all of your troubles and takes it away,
I’m sorry that I’m not the knight on his white horse that will whisk you away, but a rider on a black steed.
I’m sorry for caring for you with my whole heart and think that you are perfect in my eyes,
I’m sorry for trying to be there for you whenever I can, even though I have troubles of my own,
I’m sorry that I care for you too much and worry for your safety in life,
I’m sorry that I will give my life up in a second if need be,
I’m sorry that I want to help take on all of your burdens in life and carry it on my shoulders,
I’m sorry if I show how much love I have for you, even if you spew it back in my face,
I’m sorry that I want to be there when you need a shoulder, a pillar of strength to lean against,
I’m sorry that I want to show you how much beauty there is and how much there is to give,
I’m sorry that I don’t want to crumble like ground underneath your feet when you hurt,
I’M SORRY FOR NOT BEING WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE,
I’M SORRY FOR LOVING YOU WITH MY WHOLE HEART AND SEE YOU IN A LIGHT OF PERFECTION,
…I’M SORRY FOR BEING.
