Sorry

Lost
And once again
Picking up the pieces
From a fall
I didn't know I'd had
The only word
Pulsing through my heart
Sorry
Sorry for not being the one
You wanted me to be
Sorry for being there
When you needed me
But no other time
Sorry for not taking your hand
Even though you never took mine
Sorry for returning your kisses
When I never even felt them fall
Mostly I'm sorry that you love me
Because I can't love you back
No matter how hard I try
I'm sorry that I don't love you
Sorry for not telling you this
All the times you were ready to listen
