I'm Sorry
by
Dwayne Pagnotto
I hate myself for what I've done
Each and every second I'm livin.
And hope that maybe someday
She'll find it in her heart
To say I've been forgiven.
What happened
Was not done
To hurt her
But because
I was trying to be cool.
"Play hard to get"
They always said.
And now I feel
Like a fool.
A lifetime of apologies
Would never be enough
To take away the memory of that pain.
I swear
I just want to leave this world
So maybe she could forget my name.
But by chance maybe someday
We could meet somewhere
To start all over again.
And if she didn't turn away
She'd hear me whisper
The words,
"Can we still be romantic friends?"
