Just Friends Poem

I was in love with my best friend. I thought we had a chance at first, but he then told me, in words no less painful, "I don't want to be with you." It hurt. A lot. And for a long time afterward, I was angry with him. But we're moving forward now, letting go and moving on, and this poem is to remind me that I'm partially responsible for what happened, too.

I'm Sorry

© M-Dog
I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
I’m sorry for what was said
I’m sorry for these words I write
While lying here in bed.

The thing I need to tell you is
You mean so much to me
But it hurts so much to realize
There are things that you don’t see.

I wanted you to love me too
I wanted you to care
I wanted to belong with you
I wanted to be a pair.

But you made it fairly clear
That you don’t want the same
And this, I know, is all my fault
There’s no one else to blame.

So here I am apologizing
Saying “sorry” with all my grace
And I’m sorry to say that I’m too scared
To say this to your face.
