Explanation Long Overdue
I know it matters little,
At this time, I am sure,
But I've always felt,
I owed you,
A reason why,
We did not endure...
As I approach,
The final destination,
I've unfinished chores,
I must amend,
And I guess
It's up to each
Of us to tend...
It may sound insane,
In fact, I think it is...
I was feeling too much in love,
Something had to give...
All I'm sure of,
Is this, I do swear...
It was never a question...
Of if I did care...
All I'm sure of, that is,
Whoever followed me,
The luck was his...
I felt I was losing control,
Felt jealous and insecure,
Withdrew into a defensive caccoon,
But there's even more...
I knew I blew my chance
With the most beautiful girl
I ever had,
One who shared my love,
And to this day I'm sad...
I did what I'm good at,
I ran away and hid,
My life was forever changed,
The dumbest thing I ever did...
I know it sounds insane,
And I'm sure that this is true,
But one thing I can swear,
I never ever,
Stopped loving you.
