You Slipped Away

I still have all your t-shirts
though worn so thin...
they're still good to sleep in.
Those boxer shorts
meant for Halloween
that you wore year round
and then gave them to me.
I miss those eccentricities.
All the stuffed animals
that never really served a purpose
but to remind me of you.
So many gifts had sweet intentions...
They haunt me now.
Memories I should be grateful for
hurt so much more...
Pictures of the two of us
when we were happily together
now that we've gone our seperate ways
it's been awhile
but I don't remember a time
when we weren't happy...
I never meant to make
such horrible mistakes.
I never meant for things
to turn out this way.
I thought that we were friends.
That you could speak to me...
Even in the end.
I swear I've paid the price
10 fold.
Maybe you'll let me tell you
the story someday.
I just wanted you to know
that my love for you has never stopped.
Instead it's only grown.
But it's not possible
for me to apologize enough.
Though I'm sure it's impossible
for you to ever forgive me
even once.
And that's still okay.
As long as you've heard
what I've had to say.
Maybe one day,
probably not tomorrow...
definately not today,
I'll accept the fact
that you were the one
that I let slip away.
