Now
In the sunshine
the breeze licks
my skin
sweet tantalising kisses
the smell
of flesh longing
for the flesh of others
The shadows
nip at my heels
happiness
is a fleeting
distraction
We have been fooled
and fools
once more
I'm sorry
that I was never there
for you
as you were
for me

I'm sorry
that I lost you
Before I realised
I loved you

I'm sorry
that in this apology
I'm still as selfish
as always

But most of all
I'm sorry
for never being enough
