Can I?

Can I hug you once more?
Can I feel your arms around me again?
Can I just have one more day with you?
I wish that I could explain
How I so very badly
Want to keep you,
And continue to love you.
I guess that I should have played it safer
From the beginning.
Oh why,
Why did I have to commit that sin?
Saying that I loved you,
Yes I consider it a sin.
My worst one at that.
I didn't want to say goodbye,
But you left me no choice.
You consumed my pain,
As if it were your only food source.
It's hard to cry in front of you
Especially when it was you
It was you who caused me that pain
I suffered
And I suffered
But I let it all go on,
And you broke me.
I am a fraction of what I once was
I have no heart to love,
For you took that with you.
Your lips told me you loved me
But your eyes,
Oh your eyes,
They showed your hatred.
It when I noticed that,
I walked out.
Now I can only ask of you,
Can you hold me again?
Can you hurt me like you did before?
When I hurt,
Tears fall from my eyes
And sometimes I taste them,
They are salty tears filled with memories.
Those memories you told me to let go of,
And I did.
How could I be so foolish?
So, once more,
Can I receive one more kiss upon my forehead?
Can I fall in love with you again?

Darling, could you allow me into your life again? Let me feel your warm lips against my own. Your hands holding mine. The smile you once had around me. Let's just be okay for once.

I'm sorry for walking out, please take me back.

It was a mistake that I made letting you fall for me, but let's put that behind us.

Please?
