I read something someone posted and I realized
I've written you over a hundred poems
But I've never apologized to you
So, if you ever read this
I would like you to know
How sorry I am
For the mean words I spoke to you
I'd like you to know that
I'm sorry for my immature behavior towards you
Most importantly, I'd like you to know
I am sorry for failing to respect your boundaries
Your friendship and love were worth far more to me
Than was represented by my behavior and lack of respect
I've spent the last thirty years regretting my mistakes
As I will the next thirty years, I have little doubt
I am so sorry that I was not the person I could have been
I'm sorry that I was not the person you needed me to be
While my past behavior has not been a perfect testament
I would hope that you know that I will always love you

I wish that I were able to deliver this apology to you directly
You may never read this, but I pray that you one day will
