I’m Sorry!

That I wasn’t ready to love, when you wanted or needed to be loved,
This didn’t happen on your timeline, and I waited until you were gone,

I’m sorry,
I didn’t realize how much I loved you until it was too late,
So I want to be selfish and say stay here, with a clean slate.

But,
I want more than anything for you to be happy even if it’s not with me.
I know I took too long to come around, 
I know that it’s too late,
I’m an adult and need to accept there are consequences to my actions,
And that I have sealed my own fate

You finally wore me down and made me love once again,
I have loved every second, of every day, of all the time we ever spent,
I am absolutely heartbroken that it must now come to an end

So,
What I do want you to know is that I do love you so.
You’re the first person I’ve ever trusted or cared for,
The only one that truly had my back,
I don’t know what I was thinking I was truly acting wack

In the most selfless way possible,
You can walk away from all of this if YOU really want to,
I will practice for the first time self-control and selflessness,
Just to give you a chance at happiness, 
This I am willing, even if it means I have to live without you.
