Heart of the Wild

---

I’m sorry I never said goodbye.

I’m sorry I never told you I loved you,

never told you just how much I cared.

I’m sorry you gave me your heart

and took only pieces of mine.

---------------------

I’m sorry I hid from you in times of pain.

I’m sorry I lied to get away,

and lied to myself about the sorrow

you watered in my soul.

---------------------

I’m sorry you could never hold me down,

though not too many times had you tried.

For you knew from that first kiss,

the heart of the wild could not be tamed.
