Each day I say sorry

‘Tis was more than 20 years ago

The saddest thing that ever happened.

My first girlfriend and I broke up

Till date I have never fully forgotten that.

I dreamt of a future; I dreamt she would be my wife forever

Alas, it did not happen.

Back then I was foolish; I was naive

I needed to be more sensitive.

As an old aunt told me, ‘Son, someone cast an evil eye on you’

I now firmly believe she was right.

My relationship ended back then

In a few years I got married to a very nice and beautiful woman.

I have children with her now

I am definitely happy.

But after so many years there is a piece of me that still is sad

So, to diminish the marginal sorrow, each day I say sorry.

Sorry, my first girlfriend, I say sorry to you

Each day I spend two minutes saying sorry to you.

Wherever you are now, I hope you are glad

Even though I have, I never did intend to hurt you.

So, if you ever think of me (I don’t think you do)

Just remember that I did really care for you.

Goodbye forever and take good care

Not for you but for myself I will continue to apologize.

This is how I choose to live my remaining life.
