I'm sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry that I hurt too
I'm sorry for the pain I caused
And my lies
And my truth.
I'm sorry that I couldn't marry you
The ring was just too beautiful.
I'm sorry for five years
That you feel I wasted.
I'm sorry I couldn't keep our dog
I sorry I couldn't even tell you that
Her name deserved no place in our emails.
I'm sorry I couldn't give her a home
The truth is,
I left that with you.
I don't have one anymore.
I'm sorry that I lied
And cheated
And stole.
I'm sorry that you don't even think you know who I am.
I'm sorry that we said goodbye
In the least good way possible.
I miss our house and our mornings
And my walks to the river with Heidi.
I miss when the three of us were happy.
Like when she'd lay upside down on the floor when she'd fall asleep
Or the ways she'd shake out her ears every time she'd awake.
I miss the old house
The one with the lake view
And while we are on the subject
I miss our old bulldog too.
I miss the beginning when it wasn't easy
But it wasn't ever tough.
I miss the days that I spent dreaming,
That maybe you were it.
I'm sorry I met someone new,
I'm sorry that I think he actually understands me.
I'm sorry it had to happen this way.
I miss our home
I miss our garden
I miss our coffee in the morning,
I miss you.
But truthfully,
I think I miss our dog the most of all.
For Patrick and Heidi
