There must be a million ways

for me to apologize to you

Ways that I could (and should) let you know

I’m so sorry.

I could spends months begging -

begging for the forgiveness that I do not deserve,

knowing perfectly well in my heart

that I should have already lost you;

but also knowing that I’d do anything-

absolutely anything to keep you.

There are countless ways that you could tell me you hate me -

a hundred perfect reasons to explain why we should be ‘over’-

reasons why you deserve someone better -

deserve someone more.

But there is one reason -one great reason- that I believe we

should make this work.

There is one good argument that I have.

A reason that makes any mistake, no matter how large

seem unimportant in comparison.

I may be blinded, crazy, or hell, maybe I’m just incredibly stupid.

But this one reason, in my mind - is enough to counter all of the others.

I love you.

If nothing else, we should continue because of love.

I’m sorry for what I did - so very sorry.

I won’t ever forget

nor will I ever be able to forgive myself for it.

That mistake can never be erased; I can never take it back.

But more than those feelings of guilt that I have - more than the feelings of self hate and disgust -

is the overpowering emotion of love-

the warm, happy smile that resides in my heart

because you put it there.

Babe - I’ll be sorry forever

You know I love you

I want us to be together

We can make it through.

A/N: Sometimes we get second chances that we know we don’t deserve. Should you happen to get one of those- don’t be to arrogant to take it, and don’t be too prideful to let them know you are thankful for it either.
