Why on earth
did I run, you ask?
Well let me lay
it out for you:
I cannot change
what I have done,
Neither can you,
to be true.
We might have been
Strong as we once were
But those days are gone
Not to return.
Even if we tried,
Gave it a go,
Memories of my wrongs
In your mind, would burn.
You wouldn't be able
To let it go.
Don't kid yourself.
I know you know,
As well as I:
"Forgiveness is divine,
But never pay full price
For late pizza."
Basically, you can't forget.
I know you can't.
Anyway,
what I should have done
Was told you the sad truth:
That I still love you.
That would have scared you off,
So this void i feel now
Wouldn't be my fault.


Shoulda
coulda
woulda.
