As I reach for your hand,
I feel my eyes fill,
I thought you were mine,
My happiness pill.
As I try and pull you in,
it doesn't feel right.
I used to hold you so tight,
you were my only light.
But I feel you push away,
then feel your body sway.
I stand back,
confused and hurt,
What happened?
I almost blurt.
Did I fade your smile?
Never make it worth your while.
Upset you?
Not soothe you.
Or did I just lose you?
But I guess I was wrong...
I mean hell, it didn't take long.
For me to go and mess up,
I hate that I ruined it,
I hate that I let myself do it again,
If I could go back to when,
It all began...
I'd never ruin your smile,
I'd make it worth your while,
I'd never upset you,
I'd always soothe you,
I would always choose you,
I would never lose you.
But I did...
And oh, how I wish that was a fib.
But, you deserve the world,
No, the universe,
But the only verse I can say is 'I'm sorry'.
And I hope you know,
How much I love you,
And wish I never, ever let you go.
