My Apology

I’m sorry I didn’t see;
I’m sorry I didn’t ask.
I’m sorry I couldn’t hear your silent plea;
I’m sorry I couldn’t crack your mask. 

I’m sorry you had to do this alone;
I’m sorry you suffered in silence.
I’m sorry you didn’t pick up the phone;
I’m sorry you couldn’t tell me this. 

I’m sorry I left when you most needed me;
I’m sorry I misunderstood your call.
I’m sorry for what I didn’t want to see;
I’m sorry for hurting you, most of all.

Crossed Wires and Missed Chances

I thought you abandoned me;
That you left when you had the chance;
I know now what I then didn’t see;
Silent suffering is a complicated dance.

I was hurt and angry then;
I loved you more than I knew; 
but I won’t make the same mistake again;
Please tell me there is something I can do.

Even angry I missed you dearly;
I couldn’t imagine life without you;
Now that I finally see clearly;
I know neither could you.

My life moved on without you;
At least, that’s what I said;
Now I know you missed me too;
I could never get you out of my head. 

When we parted, I was devastated;
That’s when I knew it to be true;
Reunited once again I’m elated;
For I had fallen in love with you.
