1. apology
i know it's been
a long time
i haven't been here
to give you
the attention
you deserve
it's been so long
since i've set
my hands
upon your
beautiful face
and i'm sorry
i'm sorry i've
neglected you
rejected you
and hung you
out to dry
and i hope
you can
forgive me
i probably don't
deserve it
deserve you
but take me
as i am
i beg you
i'm here
before you
without my pride
just me
and i want
to know
this wonderful
person
you've become
i can see
you're not
who you used
to be
and i regret
i didn't get
to watch
you grow
but i'm here
now
i'm back
and i'd love
to spend
all my life
watching you
become you

2. forgiveness
you were wrong
you acted rashly
and left me
young and
vulnerable
to grow
alone
you abandoned me
left me torn
and bloody
on the pavement
forgot
i'm human too
it hurt
but that
doesn't change
how i feel
about you
you know
i love you
and that
could never change
i'd like to say
it's ok
don't worry
come back
and be with me
but it's not
that simple now
as you see
i'm no longer
who i used
to be
i've changed
in many ways
in many ways
i've stayed
the same
and you didn't
get to see me
grow
and i'm upset
with you
for that
but i know
you truly love me
as i so dearly
love you too
and so
i'll take you back
with your promise
that i'll come first
now
always
forever
that you'll put
nobody before me
and seek only
to please me
i know that
must sound selfish
but so dearly
do i love you
that it can
only be this way
and you
must trust
that i am
telling you
what is best for
me
as well
as for you
for i can
see right through you,
dearest,
i know you better
than you know
yourself
i always have
and i always will
i just pray
this time
you won't
lose sight
of that
or of me.....
