To tell you
How sorry I am
How sorry I've been

How much I wish I hadn't ****** up
So badly

I don't have poetry for you
I don't have the right words
Or the right way to say them

I have only sorrow
And too little too late
Apologies

I wasn't trying to hurt you
I wasn't trying to trick you
I wasn't trying to stand you up
Or make you feel so bad

That you'd never want to see me again

I want nothing more
Than to go back in time
And take it back

To wait to see you
Until I made the lonely drive
In my uhaul
Back to the place we met
Or close to it

I don't romanticize it anymore
But I do miss it

What we were
What we had

And there's no way I'll ever be able
To let you know
How sorry
I really am

I love you
I loved you
I don't know who you are now

And that's the worse part
