A wise man would have understood,
a strong man would have withstood.
But I am neither wise nor strong,
And I wish I could have been what you needed.
My heart was too worn,
And my fear was too much.
The pain I caused you, will always be my regret.
Unforgettable even when I've forgotten my own self.
I could never show you how sorry I am,
Because you could never give me enough time.
Long forgotten tears, now flow unstopped.
I had believed I was too broken to cry.
Can a broken heart ever truly mend?
For what I've done, this heart never will.
This pain will always be fresh,
Because you were worth it.
Maybe one day my chosen suffering will be my apology.
And I wish I could be worth it for you to accept.
I know, I will never deserve your love and affection.
I understand now that I was a coward.
Did I ever do right, by you?
I wish I knew how to tell you that I was wrong.
So many wishes, but they'll never change my hurtful words.
I should have been better for you.
And without you I only have the memories, good and bad.
Painful both.
But no pain will change, how precious those memories will always be.
Even when I've become..
Just a distant memory.
