Letters To Lovers Part Three: Proof In An Apology

by Ashes of a Black Rose aka Night Child   Feb 6, 2008


I know that "sorry" doesn't cut it,
And it sucks that you don't care,
But my heart, it just kept telling me
That you'd always be there.

I took our love for granted,
I thought you'd understand,
But maybe you'll believe me
When I finally take a stand:

You say that I still care about him,
But Dane, this isn't true,
You're the only one that matters,
And I just thought you knew.

You're the only one I care about,
No one comes between,
And I wish that I could find a way
To show you what I mean.

I'd take your hand like yesterday,
I'd look you eye to eye,
I'd swear to you, "I LOVE YOU."
Cause that's no freaking [edit] lie.

I know I screwed up royally,
And boy, I'm so damn scared,
Scared I might just lose
The only one who really cared.

I'll keep our moments close to me,
Even if you don't come back,
I'll memorize your letter,
From the front and to the back.

I'll write till you believe me,
I'll cry until you do,
Because I've never felt this way before,
This way I feel for you.

I'll keep my every promise,
I'll live up to every swear,
And I'll just keep on loving you
If you do or you don't care.

I just want to see your smile again,
I want to see it shine,
And if you say I broke your heart,
Well I've also broken mine.

Babe, give me this second chance,
You ARE my whole damn world,
Without you I am nothing,
Don't leave your little girl.

And PLEASE believe "I LOVE YOU,"
Cause baby, it's the truth,
And I hope that in this poem
You have found sufficient proof...

I know that sorry never cuts it,
And I really hope you care,
Cause my heart, it keeps on whispering,
"Well, maybe he'll be there..."

* i wrote this apology to Dane on a tuesday night after a huge fight that ended our relationship. He lost all trust in me over a stupid misunderstanding, and told me i needed to prove to him that i still loved him... for real. so i wrote him this, and i read it to him... but two lines into it, HE TOOK ME BACK, saying "Sorry was all you had to say." i thought, HE thought, that everything was now okay... see part four for the real story.
