A Loser's attempt at an Apology ~ part 1

I messed it up, I know it's true,
But here I am, trying to reach you.
I don't have the right words to say,
I've stumbled too much, lost my way.

I was foolish, blind, and weak,
Too scared to say the things I'd speak.
I ran in circles, chased my pride,
While all the good we had just died.

I guess I'm the loser in this game,
The one who played but lost the flame.
Now here I stand with empty hands,
No promises, just broken plans.

But if you'll listen, just for a while,
I'll wear my shame and lose the smile.
I hurt you, I know, more than I can say,
And I'd take it back if I could find a way.

I can't fix the past or undo the wrong,
But I can say this—I've missed you all along.
I was selfish, I failed, I made you cry,
And now I sit with that, wondering why.

You gave me trust, you gave me light,
And I left you alone in the darkest night.
For that, I'm sorry, for all that I've done,
I pushed you away when you were the one.

I don't expect you to forgive,
I've got no excuses for how I live.
But know this truth, as I let it show—
I never should've let you go.

I'm sorry, it's late, I know I've lost,
But losing you was the greatest cost.
So if there's a chance, even just a glance,
I'd change it all—give us one more dance.
