Apologies

Back when I was just a girl

I made a few mistakes,

You carried through and helped me up,

Raised all-of life's stakes.

 

Don't worry dear, I will be true

For my heart's as pure as gold.

You have me now, you'll have me then

Until I'm gray and old.

 

I know my words are nothing more

Than myth and fancy sound,

But all this time I've fallen so deep

Like to your soul I have been bound.

 

If every time I wrote for you

You'd fall that much deeper for me,

I'd write for you a thousands words

Just to let you see.

 

You mean the earth, you mean the sky,

You mean the creatures and the sea

Because without your warmth and very touch

There would be nothing left for me.

 

A poet's words are all but rhyme

To express out heart's every feel,

To help us think things

Through and through

To know what's fake and real.

 

But for you, my dear, I'd write the world

If only for a smile,

And sing the words as never before

To have you stay a little while.

 

It's not your body I long to touch,

Though a caress might be nice-

I wish only for your warmth and heart,

For that will always suffice.

 

If I hurt you now or ever then

May past or present be,

Could you lok me in the eyes

And still smile hap-pily?

 

Could you forgive me of my sin

And then

Say without a doubt

That you and me will always be

What you want our lives to be about?

 

I pray not ask what future holds

For fear will keep me still,

Should I say one foul and off you go,

It makes my heart feel ill.

 

But could you forgive a hurtful thing

When I know I had done wrong,

Smile and me and say today

To just keep moving along?

 

Perhaps I ask a silly thing

And push things too far,

But I'd rather leave things overdone

Than give you harm and mental scars.

 

I know I'd done things wrong

And upset you may be,

But now or soon do you think one day

You could really forgive me?
