Im sorry
Im sorry I told you sweet nothings while you fell asleep
Im sorry I kissed you when you were upset
Im sorry I held your head up when you were feeling down
Im sorry I tried to love you
Im sorry I held your hand to reassure you I wanted you
Im sorry I wrote you love poems instead of just Goodnight, beautiful texts
Im sorry I told your parents we were together
You see, Im bisexual
My mom found out I was bi by going through my messages
She said she didnt care about who I loved, as long as I wasnt trying to kill myself over them
Reassured me that my life had value
Im sorry I assumed your parents would do the same
When your mom looked at me, there was no judgment in her eyes, but I felt the world stop
I could smell your fathers anger emanate from his pores
And stupid me
I thought it was me
I thought they didnt like me
But they just didnt like the word
So, Im sorry
Im sorry I held you close when we danced
Im sorry I walked you home when it was late at night
Im sorry I made you flipagrams of our summer together
Im sorry we didnt fuck, but we made love
Im sorry I tried to love you
Im sorry I tried to show you I was different
Im sorry I grabbed your ass when boys were staring too long
Im sorry I took you out to eat with my family
Im sorry I told your parents we were together
Im sorry I tried to love you
Im sorry I told your parents we were together
Im sorry I tried to love you
Im sorry I told your parents you were a lesbian
Im sorry I tried to prove my love by telling your parents I was proud to be with you
Im sorry I missed your funeral
Im sorry
