I'm Sorry

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I didn't mean to make you cry,
but now it's time to say goodbye.

The beginning was full of fun and laughter,
how did this become a full blown disaster?
One month of bliss, one month of trouble
had me wondering if I was seeing double.

My feelings were so real,
it felt like nothing else mattered,
But soon enough the truth came out,
and all my dreams were shattered

Up and down I would go,
on an emotional rollercoaster, that wouldn't slow.
I tried my best to hit the brakes,
even still, you would not wait.

I played along, and told you what you wanted to hear.
Without considering all my reservations and my fear.
To promise you forever after six dates, I know I lied.
It was out of the question, I was hoping you'd come to realize.

I thought I knew who you really were,
but soon words came to mind, like "moody and insecure".
What was once smooth had become so tough,
The Beatles were wrong, love is not enough.

I will miss you dearly, for all that it's worth.
A heart and passion that burned, like a fiery hearth.
Your smile would light me, in a blink of an eye.
Your voice so sweet, giving me a high.
It truly does make me sad.
It's unfortunate you have to throw out the good with the bad.

It's not your fault, and it's not mine,
this was bound to happen over time.
I wish you could read this poem, maybe it would help you heal,
only then maybe you could understand how I truly feel.

I never meant for this to happen, and wish you all the best.
Now it's time for "us", to take its final rest.
After all this, I hope you can hold your head high,
I can only say I'm sorry, that I love you and a very sad goodbye.
