I'M Sorry
I'm sorry for the times you were confused
For not having a clue of how to treat this heart of gold
The times you couldn't understand the language I spoke, its English but for you it was something unknown
Something you had never heard before
I'm sorry if you thought I only wanted your charm, your body, and your lips
You see that's something you were very familiar in giving, you had done it before and even during...us
You didn't have a clue I needed and wanted your thoughts, your soul, and your love
I believe you didn't know how to do that, how to open up to another soul
You've been used to close minded women with other open options, easy targets
You didn't have to take your time into unraveling them, nourishing them, into seeing them
I believe they didn't want to be seen
I loved you, I did.
I was willing to open up my options and put my thoughts to the side for you
Into closing my mind that was telling me don't, you're better than this, than him you don't need this
I loved you.
I didn't open up my options but I still did close my mind for you
I settled, for less, for whatever this was between me and you
I love myself. I do
Thank you
You helped me see myself, something you could've been able to but didn't want to
I'm sorry
I no longer would say,
It's okay, this is how good it'll get, he'll learn to speak this language of yours
He'll be able too see you more than you show
Realize he needed you
I'm sorry
I don't need you
Thank you
