Guilt pt2

14 July 2022

You will never know
How much I have loved you
How our souls stuck together like glue
You will know even less
How much regret I have been feeling
How I'd be begging and kneeling
I could write poetry about you for years on end
Books I'd write to you in text, but then never send
Because I do not deserve to love you
I have loved you for so long
Despite what I have done
Despite believing I was not the one
I loved that I could love you
Even if it was from afar
My care overshadowed my stupidity
As I was too afraid to apologise
I knew you would be cold, be wise
I loved your intelligence
Even when it made me seem like a dunce
How I wish I could remember what I've done
To have once been called your one
