An apologetic love poem for hurting someone held dear.

When I say "I'm sorry," here's what I mean

I feel horrible for being a selfish a*s
I feel bad that I forgot how much you care
I wish I could take that moment back
And though I can't, if I could then I'd dare

I'd dare to remember we've both been hurt
I'd dare to realize that you mean well
I'd dare to be gentle in my response
I'd dare because we've both been through hell

So I'll work on remembering that it's not all about me,
I'll make an effort to focus on you
The fact of the matter just happens to be
It's not about one person or the other...

It's about us.

Like it, hate it, criticize it, fuck it. Right now her opinion matters more to me than yours.

I like it and good luck with everything. Writing a girl a poem is thoughtful and a good way to apologize.

Thank you for the feedback, but as it happened I was confused. She wasn't very clear on some things so I misunderstood her.
