Sincerely Yours

Before you throw this letter away,
Please listen to what I have to say.
It has taken me years to write to you,
So believe everything I write is true.

I'm not good with words when just written down,
So with this poem I'll have to work around.
I have to tell you before it's too late,
I have to tell you to clear my slate.

Words can not express what regret I have felt,
Over the past years the pain I have dealt.
If I could turn back the hands of time today,
I would to when we were friends and say . . .

"Thankyou my friend for all you have taught me,
Thankyou my friend for all you have helped me to see.
I have never met someone quite like you,
My love for you will always be true."

I regret today for not saying what I felt then,
I regret it's my actions that lost me my friend.
I know after this that your wounds still won't heal,
But I have to admit better my heart will feel.

Sooner or later I hope we can be friends,
And rekindle the spirit that we once had again.
All I ask is for a second chance,
To be my friend even give me a glance.

With love that will never die It is time to leave you,
I hope everything is well and all your dreams come true.
Farewell to you now please consider this letter,
For an apology I am giving for worse or for better.
