I'D Give It All

I’d give it all in this moment, 
For just one more chance, 
To show you I love you, 
To ask you to dance, 

I stay up in the darkness, 
Just thinking of you, 
Of everything you mean to me, 
Of the things I would do, 

I know I won’t get one, 
But I just can’t let go, 
Because I know that I failed you, 
I neglected your soul, 

It feels so unfair, 
That I see what I’ve done, 
That I know how to be better, 
But you’re fed up and done, 

So I lay here and dream, 
About me and about you, 
About everything you mean to me, 
About how I would love you,

Just know I’ve accepted, 
The way that things are, 
That my actions have caused this, 
That I’ve left a big scar, 

I would do anything, 
To fix all the pain, 
To trust you and love you, 
To stop playing the game, 

So when life gets hard, 
And the times are tough, 
Just remember that I’ve told you, 
That you’re worthy—you’re enough, 

My feelings still linger, 
The desire is there, 
And my heart still beats faster, 
Just because you are there, 

But I hope that you’re happy, 
In all that you do, 
Because I’m sending you love, 
Hoping your dreams all come true.

The great thing about messing up is when you realize it and the next great love in your life you will honor her and do so much better. Great write of loving and mistakes that are made.
