I'M Sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry... that I hurt you, 
that was never my intention
You are so precious to me, 
wish you could see my reinvention
I'm sorry...I was really not myself 
You are everything to me, 
don't leave me here
collecting dust on the shelf
I'm sorry...I really hope that 
it's really not too late
Don't move on without me, please
that would be your biggest mistake
I'm sorry...I know that these are only words
my actions would speak louder, I know
will you give me another chance
for them to be heard?
I'm sorry... for all my mistakes
they were Tsunami like in size
They washed you far away from me
before I ever realized
I'm sorry...for all the things I said
I really wasn't thinking
Now I understand how much it hurt
and why this ship is sinking
I'm sorry...that you don't answer me 
answer when I call
I can't blame you, I blame myself...
I blame myself for it all...
I'm sorry.

Apologizing for one's mistake proves one's great courage, shows that you really care and are humble enough to tell that to the other person. Your simple poem touched my heart:) A 'sorry' can mend so many broken hearts:)
