NATE ON A MISSION

Sorry

I know I shouldn’t have done it.
Instant gratification led to instant regret.
I wish I could erase all the mistakes
and go back to the moment we met.

Waking up with a clean start,
I would make every attempt to win your heart.
It might not be an easy endeavor,
but you’re more than worth the effort.

I should have given you a chance before;
it was obvious we were a perfect fit.
I was blinded by what I thought I wanted;
a life I didn’t need nor would get.

I’ve recently noticed all the beauty you possess.
It’s not like it wasn’t there in the past;
it’s just that I had my mind on something less.

But it’s too late for these words.
They won’t change how I made you feel.
I’m sorry to have caused you pain,
and I hope that by now you’ve healed.
