I pushed you away, though you were so near,
In the shadow of my fear, I drowned in the tears.
Afraid to lose you, I shattered us first,
Fed my own needs, made you feel the worst.
Trust I broke a thousand times and more,
Blinded by my pain, I closed every door.
You stood there silent, never left my side,
But my insecurities made you feel denied.
I never saw the love, so pure, so bright,
Chose my fears instead, plunged us into the night.
Now I sit with the emptiness inside,
For losing you, I lost my pride.
You were my home, my shelter, my grace,
But now I stand alone, lost in this space.
Maybe in the next life, we'll meet again anew,
I’ll be wiser, and I’ll cherish you.
Forgive me now, for all I’ve done wrong,
For in my heart, you still belong.
I promise next time, I’ll be mature and true,
And I’ll make it right, just me and you.
