Sorry...
Huh. Now there's an interesting word.
One that means so much
But so little.
---
Think about how many times it's said
"Sorry I bumped into you."
"Sorry I'm late."
"Sorry it didn't work out."
"Sorry about that."
Little mistakes
That take only a day
Or two
To forgive.
---
But so many times
Sorry
Can be so much more.
---
"I'm sorry I broke your heart."
"I'm sorry I said those things."
"I'm sorry I never listened."
"I'm sorry I did what I did to you."
"I'm sorry I left you alone"
"I'm so so sorry."
---
And sometimes it works.
---
But other times
It's just another
Word.
And compared to all the others you've said,
It doesn't really
Mean much.
