I
am
sorry
yes, I need to say them to you
a hundred times more
than I will ever have the time for
I’ll grow old
and wither and die
before I can speak
those three little words
enough times to make
everything
right again
and you …
you need to speak them too
not to yourself
in your fantasy world
where dreams are real
and things like forgiveness
never need to happen
but to me
to my heart
that you damaged
in your zealous push
to make things happen
I wasn’t ready for.
that’s where it all went wrong.
so do we hold on
to our mistakes
to one another’s wounds
or do we replace
those three little words
with three other words
like
I
love
you
and let bygones
be bygones?
