I Sincerely Apologize It Has Taken Me So Long To Reply

I sincerely apologize on my own behalf

It has taken me so long

To have eventually woken up 

And to respond and reply

To you as you did to me 

As I was so taken up in my own ego and self

With you complimenting and embellishing me

With undue undeserving praise

I never was able or took my time to realize

Whilst you were complementing me

Backing up my own delusional thoughts

Thinking believing and buying into

Just how smart I thought I was

What I failed to sadly and unfortunately

Realize was just how smart you in fact

Actually you we're rather than me

And now I have finally seen the light

I sincerely apologize

I let my ego run away and get so out of hand 

And also now more than ever sincerely appreciate

You are still willing to accept my apology

So in some small inconsequential way

I feel my debt and your faith in me

Was and has been repaid
