Sorry

Should have said
something different
    Acted differntly 
But I erred 
    Too late to take it back 
  Tooo late to change 
my tone of voice 
  But really - I did 
feel unease about what I said 
   Sorry that I said that to you
  You didn't deserve it 
Yet in time 
   The wounds shall heal 
Life will return to our 
  friendship 
If you didn't know that 
    Well, now you do 
A sweet harmony is about 
to wrap itself around us 
Giving hope 
   tying the bonds to ether

Matt, Once again, we find ourselves trapped in the Holiday Season. And, hear I am stopping by to say Hi and to wish you a Merry Christmas once again sincerely from my heart. Loving each moment I found comforting here on the soup. Thank you for any comment or support you have offered now or in the past. Love always & forever ~ PD

An apology that is genuine and sincere, Matthew! Sometimes people feel apologetic, but it always helps when it's said. Best wishes, Mikki

this is indeed a very sweet apology, Matt. More people should be doing this to each other. AS for my etheree, it may resemble a shape poem but it was just a "centered" etheree.

Hello, Matt~ how are you? Sorry, sometimes does not work. but you are right,, in time everything bad goes away or heals. Hope your friendship was not destroyed.. I see this friend meant a lot to you. These are true expressions, a mans loud voice hurts more than they think at times.. always~ your friend...pd

is the spacing in this significant? because I think you could make it into a profile of a face if you wanted. also, is your last line supposed to be together? anyway, it is hard to know the right things to say at the time. like that old cliche, hindsight is 20/20. but if it's a good friendship, it will survive it :)
