i have been told you scream out my name
with the love that had ran through your veins.
i have been told you've shed tears,
and screamed for mercy.
i have been told you've loved,
but "there was none like you".
i've been told everything.
i've been told about the looks and the meaningful smiles.
from the laughs in the day,
to the unheard cries at night.
i'm so sorry.
yes, i'm aware those are words,
and words only go so far.
i'm sorry i was in love with another,
and treated you like you are nothing,
but the clothes that lay on my floor.
i tried to make up for the loss of time,
but distance replaces the hellos with goodbyes.
i'm sorry i broke your heart,
and i'm sorry i never held my heart on my sleeve.
You tell me it's okay every time i apologize,
but i find myself looking at your photos and remembering how i treated you.
i hurt you and i complained about my heartache.
i bought you an expensive ring you wanted from when we were together and i wrote you letters.
i'm sorry.
you didn't deserve the pain i gave you, but i'm glad we're both better now.
you didn't deserve anything but kindness,
because that's all you are is kindness.
so when i see your beauty,
i remember the messages,
i remember breaking your heart,
and i never wanted to.
so my dear, just promise me this,
promise me you'll remember me
and save me that kiss.
