Did I Hurt You?
I’m sorry I couldn’t see the signs earlier. We passed the point of no return a long time ago, not that there was anything I could have done then anyway. An apology is not what you’re looking for, you’re not looking for anything at all. From me, that is. Either way, I’m sorry. Better late than never, I guess.
Tell me, please- Am I the villain in your story?
I can only hope and wish that it was someone before me, but
I'm not writing your story
Honestly, hurting you would hurt me
But if I'm only learning now
What bridges no longer exist between us
Replaced by questions of intent from each of us
Then what signs I'm following
Means that your absence is the very answer that
I have to accept, that you want nothing to do with me
If I'm in your bad memories
Then I don't want you to missing me, honestly
But if for any reason you had a hard time forgetting me-
If for you I'm a bad memory
Then the villain is me- Isn't it?
I never meant for you to be a victim, but
The road to hell is paved with good intentions- Isn't it?
If whatever is buried is not to be dug up, then I won't
I understand it's too late to right any wrongs
So if I hurt you-
I'm Sorry
This is VERY similar to ‘Bittersweet’, something I wrote quite a while ago. I decided to recycle it, removing some lines and changing the flow just a little bit. It has the same tone as ‘Bittersweet’, but is a bit more heart felt. Enjoy!
