I'm sorry you can't be here for me,
in the times I need you most.
I'm sorry you can't see,
the tears you create and host.
I'm sorry you're too busy for me,
and don't talk to me anymore.
I'm sorry you had to make this be,
and create the closing door.
I'm sorry you had to shut me out,
and isolate me from your life.
I'm sorry you made me scream and shout,
with all this internal strife.
I'm sorry you can't see the hurt that is near,
with the words I try to say.
I'm sorry that you can't be here,
to make my pain go away.
I'm sorry I ever had to look you in the eye,
and realize how much love you hold.
I'm sorry you have to say "I love you" and "Goodbye",
for those are the words you told.
I'm sorry you had to kiss me,
and then I realized how much I love you.
I'm sorry there was passion in my kiss to see,
the things I'd do for you.
I'm sorry you held my hand,
and gave me your gentile touch.
I'm sorry together we used to stand,
and now I miss you so much.
I'm sorry I cry tears of pain
instead of tears of joy.
I'm sorry that you're a responsible man,
and not a little boy.
I'm sorry I fell in love with you,
and that I still am.
I'm sorry that that you loved me too,
I wish I could take your hand.
I'm sorry that you never really hurt me,
but that I only hurt my own heart.
I'm sorry that I have to see
that distance is what makes us apart.
I'm sorry I do the things I do,
but my heart is still.
I'm sorry that I love you
and I always will.
