I Would Have Listened

I kept you at arm's length don"t know why I thought that you might know me Just another branch broken in a thunder storm of my life's tree No one thinks to actually talk, so lost is what it will be I am used to hitting restart more times than justifiably At any point, you could have communicated decidedly I would have listened just as I waited many a time for thee I forgave more times that most would have given you quite honestly But running is easier than seeing truth confidingly I made mistakes to which I would have atone for them completely May you spend the rest of your life seeking a replacement for me

doesn't sound like a pleasant situation, AS. Break-ups are never easy. Regardless of how kind one is trying to be:)

They definitely are not DT. But unfortunately they are a natural evolution of relationships which is why I address them in my writing. I appreciate the fact that you see both sides of the coin in this piece of work that was my intention. Respectfully A.S.
