Fixing What's Broken

I want you to know I miss how things used to be
When I confided in you, and you trusted in me
I long for the past because things were better
You loved me so much, so here's this letter.

Once again I failed to do the right thing
I try to fly, but fall with no wings
They hadn't quite healed from my last soar
When I only fell, hitting ground once more

But in my heart and mind, I'm ready to change
Yet you still see me as me, and this I can't blame.
But I ask for your forgiveness and helping hand
To prove to all, I can do right again

I know that trust will only come through time
When I've proven to you I'm different inside.
That this change is real, and comes from the heart
But without out you both, I can't even start

So please look past my failures, and attempts gone wrong
On my own, I'm too weak, but with help I'm strong
These aren't just lines rehearsed to be said,
But words meant to heal all that I've shred.

I love you so much, from the depths of my soul
I'll do what it takes to patch up these holes.
But I need you now different from then
Because I'm fixing what I know I've broken.
