I'm Sorry

Is this how it must begin?
By finding out the truth?
You should've told me you were scared,
You should've told me, I would have cared.1

Now I look back,
And I regret what I did.
I committed a stupid act,
Now I know your love for me won't come back2

I'm Sorry3

Is this how it's supposed to be?
Dreaming my loveless dreams?
Wishing you were thinking of me,
cause I'm dieing here, can't you see?4

Haunted by ghosts of dead love,
Haunted by ghosts of the past.
Waiting for love to come,
Or life to be done.5

I'm Sorry6

Is this how it's supposed to end?
Love-starved and hopeless?
The Ghosts are gone
For here comes the Dawn7

I look back now,
I realize what I've done.
I've gone completely insane
Where sadness and depression fall like rain.8

I'm Sorry9

But maybe, with the rising of the sun,
Hope will finally come.10

They Say you never appreciate anything until it's gone. Live with what you have, and be happy with it, For it may be taken from right under you.

Author notes

I wrote this in dedication for my ex, whom I loved so dearly, then like the day into night, was gone.

    Sorry that you're sorry

    I am sorry for your loss of your GF, first off. Too bad she can't see this.

    Yes, sometimes you can't appreciate something until it is gone. It is sad to see that you can't always mend love before it is broken.

    Great flow, rhymes and word use. Brilliant work.

      Actually, she can, I wouldn't be surprised if she's already read it...
