I'm so sorry I never meant to hurt your feelings. I tried and tried. I tried to tell you so many times.
But always waiting for me was a smile. Breakfast in bed, at the right times. Always there, to kiss me good night. Never faulting, ever the gentleman.
Your company, always a delight. The host with the treats, The guest with the gift.
You were always happy, Always kind. The nice guy.
I didn't want to take that away. I didn't want to make you cry. How do I tell you I don't love you anymore?
You remember the dates, You always put me first. You do everything right.
So, How do I tell you that 'perfect' isn't making me happy? That 'Mr. Right' isn't enough for me. It hurt every single day. I just didn't know what to say.
I'm sorry. I never meant for you to find out like this. I know I messed up, Please, forgive me!
